Because I've found it to be the most natural solution to the problem when I've had to do something similar. Though, to be fair, I /was/ storing constant words (commands [or tokens]) rather than mutable strings that could change length.
As always, consider the problem domain *first* before jumping into code -- this helps prevent you from falling into the "I have a hammer, so everything is a nail" mentality -- Ada is really quite good at modeling the problem domain for a lot of things, and we should take advantage of that.
