To expand on my previous short message. Just declare the
type with a default discriminant. In this case you can
freely alter the discriminant value later on, and such
types compose freely (although some old compilers, notably
the Alsys Ada 83 compiler had rather severe size
limitations on the composition of such types).

Of course typical compilers will allocate the maximum space
for each element, so if this is not acceptable, you will
indeed need to use pointers.
