Thank you for this instructive addition to your library and your 
generous license terms. The tests ran correctly using GNAT 4.3.4 (FSF) 
on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Permit me to ask two questions: Would it be useful to a add a line to 
the file test_strings_edit/readme_strings_edit.txt for the stream test? 
For example,

gnatmake -I../ test_string_streams.adb

Regarding the cautionary note in section 10 of the documentation, would 
it be correct to interpret the warning as "this implementation requires 
that Stream_Element'Size be a multiple of Character'Size and that the 
latter be a multiple of Storage_Element'Size."
