I take this as a feature request! Always easier to be motivated if
there's a user.

No memo.
A question for you: the current BC.Indefinite_Containers support all
the forms (Bounded, Dynamic, Unbounded, Unmanaged) but I'm inclined to
think that most users of indefinite containers would be satisfied with
Bounded and Unmanaged. Or even further, with a new
BC.Indefinite_Unmanaged_Containers tree that manages storage
internally without the need for you to bother with storage pools at
all. Of course, this is getting perilously close to (if not past) the
point where one should just migrate to Ada.Containers!
