Really? I did took all the subprogram names, with the same argument
names and order, and the same behavior. I only changed the type from
Unbounded_String to Chunked_String (obvisouly), and when a new
Chunked_String is created, I added Allocation_Unit and Chunk_Size with
default values, so that old calls to Ada.Strings.Unbounded subprogram
still work. Do you see something else?

Same as Ada.Strings.Unbounded, really. I tend to with-rename, so I have
never tried how it feels when with-used. However I don't see anything
preventing it from being with-used.

What kind of issues? Or rather, what issues that are not triggered
exactly the same way by Ada.Strings.Unbounded? I genuinely don't see
anything wrong...


Thanks for your help,
