While I'd do this, or pass just a String as Martin has shown, or pass
an index because the string is at the same nesting level, I can,
in Ada, create a pointer into the middle of the array and pass that,
and then use pointer arithmetic.
It is just a lot more verbose, cumbersome, and not necessary ;-)
