Right.
Ada also has the "is <>" default notation for generic formal parameters,
which is a similar sort of "implicit / behind-the-scenes-magic".
It means "pick something with the same name, visible at the
place of the instantiation". Some might consider that rather error
prone, but it's also rather useful. It probably wouldn't mix well
with implicit instantiation.
