Bounded_String is an in-between type

                 Flexibility      Simplicity for the machine
                 (for the human)  (and perhaps performance)
                 ---------------  --------------------------
String           Low              High
Bounded_String   Mid              Mid
Unbounded_String High             Low

For comfort I use only String and Unbounded_String, although I did lots of =
Turbo Pascal previously. Perhaps I do not miss that much having strings une=
xpectedly truncated after the 255th character, or having conversion surpris=
es from a String[255] to a String[80]...
