It might be worth the discussion to remove this feature. If it is truly
found to be of no use.

Package generics has proved to be useful to me on more than one
occasion. However, declaring instances of other packages within a
package has yet to find a good use in my code.

In "float_generic_pkg" in the LRM, when I call out the fixed point
package, I use explicit function calls. Thus in every case, the
defaults on the declared "fixed_pkg => IEEE.fixed_pkg" used in float_pkg
is overridden.
