fucntion-at-a-time has nothing whatever to do with shared generics. Actually
Ada.Strings.Bounded is perfectly usable in a typical situation where you
have very few different instantiations.
We have no plans to do anything with shared generics. Actually it would
be possible to code Ada.Strings.Bounded to share common code between
generics, we have that as a possible enhancement on our list,. but it is
unlikely to get done as there has been no demand for this improvement.
