"Is there no way a generic type parameter can have a default value ?"
(LK)

"Not a *type* parameter, no. Perhaps this is something that should be
looked at for the next Ada revision?" (TED)

Hmmm... This is the essence of a previous thread initiated by myself on
'types as objects', which, if I remember correctly, lead to reflexion
with an example from an ASIS application. The subject dropped silently
then, so I should guess no, it will not make it into the next Ada
revision.
