Is it worth to use Bounded_String for short strings (which are expected to 
be say 12 chars max, as a program version string)? or is Unbounded_String 
fast enough and this a preliminary optimization?

Also not using Bounded_String at all may shorten the program code, right?

What is the main purpose of Bounded_String?
