Both the Meridian and the Ada/Ed compiler seem to be
tripping up on the ... renames GENERIC_STRINGS."=";
This is entirely legal since the declaration of
the private type implicitly declares "="
(see 7.4.2:3 and 3.3.3:2), and GENERIC_STRINGS
refers to the "current instantiation" rather than
the generic template (see 12.1:5).
