I'm not a Ada programmer, but a problem came to my attention that
I'd love to know the answer to, since it seems as though Ada should
provide this feature and I can't find it in the LRM...

If I have a generic package where one of the formal parameters to
the package is a type, how can I find out what 'actual' type is
bound to a particular instantiation?  (I know I can add a parameter
to act as a flag, but that seems clumsy to me and it just seems as
though Ada would have provided some means (an attribute?) to do this.

Please Email me, if possible.


Thanks!
