Generic derivation appearing only in creation type

Problem

The bug occurs in the following context:
If a generic derivation appears ONLY in an explicit creation type, the compiler does not register it and dies later when it tries to generate the code (Degree 2 if melting, Degree -2 if freezing).


Fix

Use the generic derivation elsewhere in the system.

This bug has been fixed and will be integrated in the next release.
