I'm all in favor of making a list package share as much similarity as it can
to Ada.Strings.Unbounded - since they are very similar in nature. It helps
keep things Ada flavored and makes it easier for the programmer to learn one
package and transition to the next.

You're right - I forgot about the Microsoft part. But wasn't it something to
do with Microsoft adopting Ada for its next generation OS and open-sourcing
the whole project?
