It seems my misreading of RM:

"For the first form of iterator_specification, called a generalized 
iterator, the expected type for the iterator_name is any iterator type."

I understood this as need to supply an iterator type as iterator_name, not a 
value of this type. It seems my misunderstanding.

test.ads:19:28: Default Iterator must be a primitive of "Descriptions_List"

Also, it seems that GCC 4.9.1 does not support "for ... in ... loop" syntax.
