Subject: A function that cannot be called?

There is a type declaration, I rememberd, in Ada, that
does not allow any object of the type to be declared.
I think the type should be along the lines below. Is
this correct?
Then, a function that nominally returns objects of
this type should be impossible to call. Is this right,
too?
generic
type T(<>) is limited private; -- gen. arg. type
package What is
type Void (<>) is private;
function Impossible (X : T) return Void;
private
package Inner is
type Void (<>) is private;
private
type Void is record
null;
end record;
end Inner;
type Void is new Inner.Void;
end What;
(If current Ada could still pass by reference in both call
direction and return direction, then I'd have added *limited*
to the Voids' declarations. Without it, a body of Impossible
is closer to becoming possible by using Convention => Ada
together with an 'Address clause on a Result object. I think.)
