Why do you want to use a record here? Looks like 100% array here.

Also, if you use a clean abstraction to your data structure (private
type), you can do all sorts of hacks behind the scene.

If you could describe more precisely the data structure you're trying
to mmap, perhaps comp.lang.ada readers could help a bit more.
