Very nice. However it is clearly not a part of the language standard, so
if you need portability for some reason, this might be a problem. It
seems like something that ought to be included in a future version of
Ada since for a large number of plain vanilla apps, unbounded strings
are far more convenient where speed is not an issue. (For example,
something that implements a command line interpreter as its only real
use of strings)
