Yes, but this restriction was removed in Ada 95. Moreover, even before Ada 
95 there was a work-around for this:

    declare
       Init_Some_String : constant String := Integer'Image(Some_Integer);
       Some_String : String(Init_Some_String'Range) := Init_Some_String;
   begin
     ...play with Some_String
   end;
