G'day everyone,

Does anyone know of an Ada package that would turn a constant pattern
string into a Pattern usable by GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns? The package has
its own "Image" function for converting a Pattern into a string
representation, but there doesn't seem to be anything to go back the
other way. There is something like it in SnoPy, but it's not covered
by the GMGPL (the GPL is too restrictive for us).

Kind regards,
Bruce.
