It is time to get counted strings into the standard.
The key to counted strings is that they need to be first class objects. The compiler must know how to handle them. Just like it would do when it handles integers or reals of different sizes. You don't have to overload := in order to assign a byte sized integer to a word sized integer. And you don't need to overload operators to add or subtract them.
I strongly believe that implementing it as a general Ada feature will be ineffective. I know that it will be tempting to do so, but RESIST!!!!!!
I also believe that educators will welcome such a move. Especially those who remember Turbo Pascal.
