IIRC, C doesn't treat arrays of charany differently than any other 
array. There is, however, a large library in C that treats a NUL in an 
array of char as an EOS character.

Ada and C take 2 different, but consistent and workable, approaches to 
strings. You can certainly write a library in Ada to deal with strings 
the way C does. But this higher level of abstraction already exists in 
Ada as Ada.Strings.[Un]Bounded.
