I have seen several threads mention that VHDL needs type
generics. This issue is being worked by the VHDL-200X
DTA working group.

There is a proposal on their reflector for type generics.
See:
http://www.eda-twiki.org/vhdl-200x/vhdl-200x-dta/hm/0022.html

Please comment on the DTA reflector.

Cheers,
Jim
