-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 If an field of a record that has constraints in its type, defining a value
 for this field appears to cause the compiler to ignore outer level
 constraints declared for an instance.

 This problem restricts generic functions written in syb-with-class and
 replib style to functions that do not have constraints.
