I can't agree. I have this code:

procedure FFT_to_HWT (FFTCs    : in  complex_array; ...
                      HWT_tree : out complex_array; ...) is
...
   iFFTCs : complex_array (1..f(FFTCs'length));
begin
...
   iFFTCs(1..nr_bins) := FFTCs(first_bin..last_bin);
   iFFTCs(nr_bins+1..iFFT_size) := (others => (0.0,0.0));
   inverse_FFT(iFFTCs(1..iFFT_size));
...
   HWT_tree(next_HWTC..next_HWTC+iFFT_size-1) := iFFTCs(1..iFFT_size);
...
end FFT_to_HWT;

I think that using slices as L-values as well as R-values helps to make this
a lot clearer than it otherwise would be, and probably faster as well.
