And the work-around was:
    Const_Str : constant String := "...";
    Str : String (Const_Str'Range) := Const_Str;

So the feature was, in fact, actually available.

I think the authors of Ada83 thought that they should avoid having to 
declare the bounds for:
    Mess: constant String (1..7) := "Message";

and didn't realize it was useful for variables too.
