Rather:

   type Unbounded_String is new String'Interface with private;

String literals are primitive operations of String's interface. E.g.

   function "abc" return String;

They are inherited by Unbounded_String and must be overridden per
compositions with To_Unbounded_String:

   overriding
      function "abc" return Unbounded_String is
         To_Unbounded_String ("abc");

Sorry, for not inventing a syntax for such sort of delegation.
