I'd be bothered by such stuff less if it wasn't so repetitive. 
Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Count instead of Ada.Streams.Count?
How many times do I have to say "Unbounded" or "String"?
The problem comes when there's a 6-line expression like
i : Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String :=
  Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String(J)
   Ada.String.Unbounded."&"
  Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String(K);

I don't see that as at all readable. I'm not sure quite what would be
better, tho. I'm just a newbie. :-)
