Does anyone have any tips or tricks when it comes to using child packages and generics? The whole thing seems pretty kludgy: as soon as you make the parent generic, any public child unit suddenly becomes "faux generic", and has to be instantiated explicitly albeit without any parameters, which at best is a PITA. More critically, any private child units suddenly becomes forbidden, and you end up with either one gigantic package (bad), or having to split it out and with them in, breaking encapsulation (worse). Why can't I just instantiate the Parent, and automatically bring along respective copies of all the (parameterless) Children, exactly like it would be if nested packages were used instead of child packages?
