I never had a problem implementing an Ada-83 equivalent of bounded strings
so that no heap was required. Did it pretty much as Matt Heaney suggested,
after reviewing a couple of "free" dynamic_strings packages and finding
that nearly every operation leaked heap.
The one thing I really missed, however, is still not available in Ada 95:
assigning string literals to these things. I think that using unary "+"
is a C-like solution (i.e., sacrificing "intuitive" readability to save
keystrokes). Defining a function that looked like a type conversion was
better for the READER, but since you can't use the actual type name,
it posed a memory inconvenience on the writer.
