A counted string would be equivalent to a bounded string with individual
maximum string length. All would be assignment compatible if the length of
the assigned string was equal or less to the maximum size of the destinatation.
I suspect bounded strings will perform badly against a counted string
implementation because assignment of strings involves copying the entire array
whether it contains valid data or not. This makes Ada less than wonderful in
applications that involve a lot of bounded string assignments.
