It is reasonable to add default values to the arguments of
many functions in charles, e.g. Genereic_Find for vectors would
become:

generic
  with function Predicate (Element : Element_Type)
    return Boolean is <>;
function Generic_Find 
     (Container : Container_Type;
      First     : Index_Type'Base := First(C);
      Back      : Index_Type'Base := Last (C)) return Index_Type'Base;
