They are great if you want an abstract data type *implemented as* as string of variable length.

For example, if you have Person_Name, Person_Address, etc.
You want them to be different types, they have a maximum length, and
a variable current length. Instead of deriving from String, you get these
types by an instantiation of Bounded_String.
