Have you looked at the GNAT source code?

If you look into the routines inside GNAT that implement some of the
functions discussed, you should find a bunch of code that you can learn
from. The fact that that code is sitting there and implements some
routines very much like the one(s) you were asking about, may have
dampned enthusiam for people to spend time creating specific examples
for you.

I've found GNAT source code generally to be a really good source of
"how things can be done in Ada"... And there is a LOT of it, so just
browsing around in it is interesting.
