Who would ever want to do that?

Before I/O, there is nothing. UTF_8_String is for encoding
and decoding subprograms of Ada. For them to be successful,
a predicate could be used to express the set of values that
can be parsed. It so happens that its members are officially
said to be in encoded form.

To get a subset U from a set S, you apply a constraint
to S. That's not (easily) expressible in Ada in this case.
But if it is, with the help of a predicate, the we can
say that UTF_8_String is-a "constrained" String because
their sets are.
