change this to

type Name_Value(Value_Type : Name_Value_Type := String_Type) is


This seems very odd, but it works. It says to the compiler "let the
discriminant change at runtime". Without the default value for the
discriminant, the discriminant is _not_ allowed to change at runtime;
it must be known at compile time.
