The only interest in this would be being able to omit Length, and have the compiler write text: string (text_value'range) := text_value;
But it's a pretty limited improvement... not worth the work.
But type AA (LL : access String) is record
      L : String := LL.all;
   end record;
should be allowed, I guess, for the same reason as in my other post.
