AI-00286 present pragma assert with two arguments, one
of them a string. (Likewise, exceptions can be raised
"with a string"). I have some messages I want use as
the second argument. They contain characters outside
Latin-1. (And another 8bit character set won't do.)

In an assert(x, y), y has to be static. So I guess for y I
will have to play tricks and use UTF-8 coding of static
String values?

Has using Wide_String variants ever been considered? Or
is there just "no demand"?
