NB: the operators for type String are in Ada 83 also in Standard
package (no need of "with/use")

In Ada 83 you can write things like

  get_line( s, l );
  s1(1..n):= s2 & '-' & s3(1..5);
  return "Result " & integer'image( n );
  declare img_tag: constant string:= "<img src=" & srcname & " >";

or use s( a..b ) as a variable (to pass as out parameter) and so on...

That's not nothing...
