Re: Reserve_Capacity for Unbounded_String?

I really don't see the need for rep attributes here as Unbounded_String
is not intrinsic. So

    Initial_Size (X, 1024*8);
    Increment_Factor (X, 1.5);

looks more appropriate in this case.

And mind Randy I do not expect to have to use such artifices in my code.
I do expect a compiler to deliver the "expected" best implementation for
every supported features. I'm not in the embedded domain and frankly all
those low-level details are distractions, I prefer to concentrate on my
application and not fighting the compiler :)

The main point for Ada to me is the high level abstraction.

Pascal.
