No, that excludes using an array. :-)
There is no such thing as discontiguous ranges in Ada; you'll have to create
it yourself somehow. Ada.Strings.Maps is the easiest way for this particular
case. For the array, I'd just make it an array (Character) of something, and
just not use the 'invalid' slots. It's hardly worth the effort to do
anything else unless "something" is very large.
