procedure yyy is

    Break : Character := ASCII.HT; -- Horizontal Tab

    subtype Word is String (1 .. Break);

begin
    null;
end yyy;

>> gnatmake -v yyy

  "yyy.ali" being checked ...
  -> "yyy.ali" missing.
gcc -c yyy.adb
yyy.adb:5:31: incompatible types in range
End of compilation
gnatmake: "yyy.adb" compilation error

A string is a numerically indexed array of characters in
simplest terms. So using a character as an index into a 
string should not compile under normal (Ada) circumstances.
