I'm a little unclear about what you're asking for here. In your envisioned
vision of Ada, what does this code do? How would it differ from doing
something like this:

   -- This is Ada!
   type Unbounded_String ( First, Last : Integer ) is private;

private
   type Unbounded_String is record
      ...
   end record;
