Well 200 parameters was an overstatement trying to make a point. What
I'm doing now is moving a way from child packages partly because when
you reach level four, the filenames becomes awfully long. And also,
with two possible parents, which one should be choosen? Our CM policy
also dictates a directory structure with every unit in it's own branch
leading to a large tree. So I'm now using the chain-saw strategy with
generics. (I finally found a reasonable usage of unchecked conversion
at level four.)

I still think that it would be nice to have a "box" syntax for
parameters that aren't relevant.
