Well, if you were to exclude Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String as not being a language defined type, on what basis might you say
that Standard.String *was* a language defined type? They are both defined in packages specified by the ARM and they appear in
appendices. The only difference would be names. That's why I figured it would have to apply. Of course this is not necessarily the
thinking that might be applied by a compiler vendor with a non-compliant compiler and no inexpensive fix available. That's when the
lawyers come onto the scene and start bayonetting the wounded. :-)
