<<The only guideline which survived was "Use pragma Elaborate for generics
named in a context clause." That could imply this paragraph was talking
only of generics; however, generics cannot be mutually dependent (although
instantiations can be mutually dependent in an indirect fashion).>>

And this guideline is a poor one. You only need to use pragma Elaborate
for generics named in the context clause if you instantiate the generic
in your own elaboration code -- and furthermore, if you *do* such an
instantiation, use Elaborate_All, not Elaborate -- and of course this
only applies if the generic has a body!
