Cool! Thanks! I actually expect changes in the middle to be rare, and
only on small arrays, so this will probably be good for me. I'll need to
study it more, to learn more Ada. :-)

The other possibility is to encapsulate all the linked-list stuff
nicely, giving nice semantic-oriented interfaces, which is more of a
pain in C than it's worth in my case.
