I think an associative container like map fits better to this. What do 
you do in Ada if you want to associate product names with prices, in the 
style


productlist["something"]= 71.2;


or a name with a number (string with string) in an address book 
application for example?


namelist["Obry Pascal"]="321-45563";


Also may you tell me if that famous compile-time boundary checking 
applies (can be used) to user-defined containers too?
