Ehm... That is exactly what I had said.  Thanks for your
confirmation.  But I wonder whether chaining strings could
lead to an "Out of memory" error in Ada.  Indeed, my 
understanding was that Ada only lets you attach a message
to an exception because doing more could lead to an
 "Out of memory" error, and that would hide the original
source of the error (and indeed the approach of Ada seemed
sensible).
