"Given:
 
 procedure P (S : in out String);
 ..
 V : String (1 .. 100);
 ..
 P (V (5 .. 96) );
 
 What happens inside P? Does this part of V have a lower bound of 1
 inside P but a lower bound of 5 outside?"

yes, the program has to build up a new descriptor anyway, so making
it like this wouldn't be a problem.
