Sorry. Hoping not to annoy anyone further ...

I meant, as a native English speaker, I don't understand what Dmitry
meant when he tacked _Of on the end. There's no English grammatical
construction that that corresponds to.

If Ada syntax was reversed, "Foo_Of.Generic_S", it would make sense (as
an English phrase).

Maybe it's different in other languages? I have a feeling that in
French you might write "Generic_S.Son_Foo" and have it match some
natural sentence order??
