I have seen a generic data structure named Generic_B_Trees, written by Dimitry 
Kazakov. It has 2 generic formal types, and no instances of either of those types.

I implemented several examples using the it, and found it quite usable, and the 
resulting code much easier to understand than typeical GUIs.

However, the point in contention was your claim that you are required to use 
access types to have a GUI. When that was demonstrated to be untrue, you 
attempted to change the subject. So I consider this discussion finished.
