Two options.
1. Make the parent package (where the abstract "interface" types are
decalred) generic.
2. Add the Element generic later on (but how are the interface operations
defined in this scheme?)

I like the first option. It is also quite nice that you can have child units
that are class-wide procedures (searching over a sequential type etc.), that
automatically get the Element.
