You're right.  I don't know what I was thinking.  I think the only
"quick" way, short of Steve's perfectly reasonable option, it to
do the following:

with Ada.Strings.Unbounded;

package Foo is

   type Token_Type is private;

   function To_Token (Source : String) return Token_Type;

 --function To_String (Source : Token_Type) return String;
   function To_Token_String (Source : Token_Type) return String;

private

   type Token_Type is new Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String;

   function To_Token (Source : String) return Token_Type
     renames To_Unbounded_String;

-- function To_String (Source : Token_Type) return String
--   renames To_String;
   function To_Token_String (Source : Token_Type) return String
     renames To_String;

end Foo;
