I'll repost it with a new thread name (A nongeneric bounded string array 
type), this one has grown out of control.  But it was very much not 
Ragged_Array, and I wish I had thought of it twenty years ago.  It is 
much more useful than Ada.Strings.Bounded when interfacing to databases.

"Quality is the Buddha. Quality is scientific reality. Quality is the 
goal of Art. It remains to work these concepts into a practical, 
down-to-earth context, and for this there is nothing more practical or 
down-to-earth than what I have been talking about all along...the repair 
of an old motorcycle."  -- from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
