But perhaps Unbounded_Array might be used for something far more Ada like:

package Unbounded_String
is new
   Unbounded_Array (
      Element_Type => Character,
      Index_Type => Natural,
      Base_Array => String);    

package Unbounded_Wide_String
is new
   Unbounded_Array (
      Element_Type => Wide_Character,
      Index_Type => Natural,
      Base_Array => Wide_String);    

Personally I wonder why they have not done that for Ada95 allready. And if
Unicode_Character aka Wide_Wide_Character is implemented an generic
implementation of Unbounded_String becomes even more usefull.

With Regards

Martin
