... and if this magic meant you could do:
package Ada.Strings.UTF8 is new Ada.Strings.String_Base( UTF8 );
I think everybody would be happy ;-).
Or is that too much magic?
Unfortunately, Steve's proposal didn't take into account Fixed length
vs Unbounded types. Not sure if that could be done with an additional
parameter to String_Base, or if duplicating String_Base would be the
ideal solution.
