Array slices and types

[Maciej Sobczak <see.my.homepage@gmail.com>]

Consider this:

   type Name is new String (1 .. 10);

   N : Name;

   Some_String : String := "abc";

How can I assign Some_String to the beginning slice (ie. to the first
three characters) of N?
Everything that I can think of (short of copying characters
individually) hits the type compatibility problem.
