Long_String_Name(1..2) is much nicer than
Long_String_Name(Long_String_Name'First..Long_String_Name'First+1)
subtype Some_Range is Positive range 4..5;
Some_String(Some_Range) -- erroneous if Some_String'First/=1
I think the root of the problem is that Ada Strings almost always
start at 1 (note that the functions in Ada.Strings.Fixed all
return Strings that start at 1), so the cases when they don't
are at best annoying, and potentially erroneous.
I'd say my favourite solution proposed so far is the following,
which surely can't be that hard to implement:
Some_String'Slide(Some_Range)
