Thanks.

I suppose it's not possible to be less specific?

dlopen()-like functions might return a pointer to any type
of subprogram, so I'd want to do something like:

generic
  type Subprogram_Access_Type is access private;

function Load_Subprogram (Name : in String) return
Subprogram_Access_Type;

I don't see anything in the RM that might accommodate this.

The Load_Subprogram doesn't need to know anything about
the type other than the fact that it's an access to something.

I have a feeling I'm going to be unsafely converting a
System.Address...
