[vhdl-200x-ft] Question On Type Genericity

I am new so I don't know if it's the good place to ask the question.
I have seen that there is a proposal to allow formal types in a generic
interface clause.
Is it only intended to be use for packages and subprograms or can I use it
also for entities?
Can someone tell me if the code below will be accepted?

entity counter is
   generic ( type count_type);
   port ( clk : in bit; data : out count_type );
end entity counter;

architecture behavioral of counter is
begin
   count_behavior : process is
      variable count : count_type := count_type'low;
   begin
      data <= count;
      wait until clk = '1';
      if count = count_type'high then
         count := count_type'succ(count);
      else
         count := count_type'low;
      end if;
   end process count_behavior;
end architecture behavioral;

Kind Regards,
Yannick
