Ada 2012 has this new Ada.Locales package (annex A.19) containing

   type Language_Code is array (1 .. 3) of Character range 'a' .. 'z';
   type Country_Code  is array (1 .. 2) of Character range 'A' .. 'Z';

   Language_Unknown : constant Language_Code := "und";
   Country_Unknown  : constant Country_Code := "ZZ";

   function Language return Language_Code;
   function Country return Country_Code;

Now how does one print the darn codes? Should not Ada.Text_IO.Put for String work? Should not the types be convertible to String?
Thanks a lot.
