More accurately from the Delay_Line user point of view, I would like to 
be able to:

1- Create a Delay_Line:

Delay1 : Delay_Line := Make_Delay_Line(Duration: Duration_Type); -- here 
the internal large array is created on the heap.

2- Use it (I prefer dot notation!):
Delay1.Set_Input(Input_Signal);
Output_Signal := Delay1.Get_Output();

3- Be able to adjust the duration later:
Delay1.Set_Duration(...); -- here the new array is created, the values 
of the old array are processed and re-injected into the new one and then 
the old array is freed.

4- When Delay1 will end his life, I want the allocated array to be freed.

5- I do not need this:
Delay2 := Delay1;
