Alright, I completely understand at least the first part, so perhaps
they should simply not be overused. :-)
Just for the fun and for those who don't know it yet, the previously
given example in Ada95-syntax:
-- 8< -- snip --
procedure Gen_Test is
---------------------------------------------------------------------
package Show is
procedure Do_It (i : Integer);
procedure Do_It (s : String);
end Show;
package body Show is
procedure Do_It (i : Integer) is
begin
null;
end Do_It;
procedure Do_It (s : String) is
begin
null;
end Do_It;
end Show;
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
generic
type T (<>) is private;
procedure Dump (Value : T);
procedure Dump (Value : T) is
use Show;
begin
Do_It (Value);
end Dump;
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure My_Dump is new Dump (Integer);
procedure My_Dump is new Dump (String);
---------------------------------------------------------------------
begin -- Gen_Test
My_Dump (42);
My_Dump ("foobar");
end Gen_Test;
