Actually, that hides a bit of information. If I were writing it, it
would look more like:
Fruits : constant array (Positive range <>) of
Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String :=
(Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String("Apple"),
Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String("Orange"),
Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String("Pear"),
...);

While I'm beginning to think the idea may have merit, I think it would
be too drastic of a change to even think of retroactively incorporating
into the current standard. If it is considered at all, it should be for
a 20xx language revision.
