No, sorry, you can't do this in Ada in this way. More than likely
the better solution is to use Unbounded_Strings, found in package
Ada.Strings.Unbounded (for some strange reason, this wonderfully
useful type never seems to be mentioned in introductory text books,
despite the amazing simplicity it brings to the "string" model, esp.
for beginning students).
