Lest people not familiar with Ada misinterpret Bob's statement -- if I may
be so bold as to put words in his mouth -- he doesn't mean that a generic
subprogram cannot be a recursive subprogram once instantiated.  He means
that the generic itself cannot be recursive, as in:

generic
procedure P;

procedure P is

  procedure PP is new P; -- this is not legal; the name P is that of an
instance

begin
  ...
end P;


(Sorry if that is not what you meant.)
