In your later post you note that Ada can work out the length without
needing it as a parameter here. However, in either case I would put in
a check that To'Length is equal to Using'Length (and to Length, if
supplied).

I would probably raise Constraint_Error here (can't use pragma Assert
in '95 and be portable).
