Re: overload ":=" ???

Well, so far, the adjust procedure doesn't
seem to do what I want...  Like someone else pointed
out, I'm really wanting to do a conversion.
But it would be nice to have it done automatically.


like my example:

type Text is record
  Buffer : String(1..80);
  Length : Natural;
end record;

...

a : Text;
begin
a := "test";  -- would like this to set both fields accordingly...

a := To_Text("test"); -- seems too wordy

If that can't be done, then,
IMHO, there is *one* way that C++ is better...
but the only one so far.

why is this so hard to implement??
