As a C++ programmer in the process of learning Ada I appreciate the fact that
Ada is in the process of adopting an STL-like container library. It will
reduce my learning curve and that's a nice thing. Perhaps other C++
programmers will feel similarly. This is not to say that STL is the be-all
and end-all of container libraries, of course. Also considering that Ada has
real arrays, I can appreciate how the name Unbounded_Array makes sense.
