What's the best way to do something like X'Output when type X only has
part of the story?  Say "type X is array ..."  but X is an array of
sampled signal and there's an associated sampling rate etc.  Making
type X(Rate : Positive; Length : Positive) is record
  Data : Data_Array(1 .. Length);
would require slice assignments to/from Data and Data is typically large,
so that's not a good solution.
