Careful about assumptions, if you want the code to be portable. At one 
point, Janus/Ada would pass pretty anything by copy to parameters of certain 
generic types. (We got rid of that in the Ada 95 version because of the need 
to deal with "aliased" components, but the cost is that one needs to use a 
thunk to access anything of most generic formal types in a generic body. 
[Janus/Ada still uses universal generic sharing.])
