Hi!

Let we have a chain of generic packages:

A.B.C.D...

Let the root A have a generic parameter, say,

   type Number is private;

Now, I want to instantiate all packages of the chain with Number => Float. 
The problem i,s how to name the children?

   package Float_A is new A (Float);

is fine, but the children cannot be named Float_A.B.C.D:

   with Float_A;
   with A.B;
   package Float_A.B is new Float_A.B; -- Error

(generic A.B contaminates the name space of Float_A). 

Float_A.Float_B.Float_C.Float_D looks awful.

Any ideas?
