Ada.Containers manage to make derivation impractical quite well, by
having a large number of functions with controlling parameters! In fact,
I think containers in general are something you wouldn't really want to
derive from; and (in the case I fell over - I needed set-like properties
for vectors) I only needed 9 subprograms and cursors, so composition did
the trick.
