After some failtures to use Ada.Strings.Unbounded--I hate To_Unbound...--
I came up with code like this:

   type String_Ptr is access String;
   type String_Array is array (Positive range <>) of String_Ptr;

   function Empty_String_Array return String_Array is
   begin
     return String_Array(2..1);
   end;

   ... myarray := myarray & new String'(mystring); ...

   ... if mystring = myarray(i).all then ...
