Great attempt! I have been looking after something like this. But you did n=
ot consider enumeration variables instead of strings?

But will you modify the "Time" issue? "Time" in Ada is "Calendar time" whic=
h is thought about as duration since a magic "year 0" on Earth (Middle East=
?)?  "Time" in physics is normally thought about as duration before/after a=
 reference "event"/point in time/space - or "duration between two events/po=
ints in time/space.=20

I have though not so far investigated you use of "Ada.Real_Time".
