I wanted a variable-length array of variable-length (Unbounded) strings, 
with random access and update based on an integer (Natural) index.
This works fine with your generic Dynamic_Array, thanks very much.  If
I'm not leaking memory or going to have a crash at some point because of
not initializing, then I'm happy with the solution.  I see that it
works like a Map, which means, I suppose, that there is some search 
involved in simply accessing an element of the array, but this is not a
noticeable problem, given all the other inefficiencies in my code, which
hardly add up to anything noticeable in toto.

Thanks very much.
