Probably not relevant as a generality: depends on string lengths.

By the way, I feel the original message is based on erroneous assumption=
s  =

about implementations of Ada.Strings.Unbounded. Nothing in the RM requir=
es  =

an implementations to use a single array for unbounded strings, and on t=
he  =

opposite, it says `type Unbounded_String is private;`.

At least for that reason, I feel this would be even better to stick to t=
he  =

exact same interface as the one of Ada.Strings.Unbounded. If that's  =

another implementation of Ada.Strings.Unbounded, then, this should expos=
e  =

the same interface. This way, the client side could easily use one or th=
e  =

other via static polymorphism.
