I don't feel so *strong* about this as Kopilovich, but my feelings are in
the same direction.

Curiously enough, "Unbounded_Arrays for Unbounded Arrays" was the title of
my position paper in the kickoff workshop in Vienna, 2002, that ultimately
lead to Ada.Containers.

In the meanwhile "Vectors" stuck because of the Charles heritage, and also
because until recently there was a chance that the library would include
also fixed and bounded varieties, and somehow "vectors" didn't sound so bad
for that. But these varieties are definitely not there, so yes, ARG, please
change to "Unbounded_Arrays".
