A general advice processing strings, any strings: messages, commands, 
payload etc.

Always read a complete string into a fixed size buffer (safety). Never 
use streams. Process the whole string consequently. Never tokenize. 
Never copy anything. Ada has slices.

The same is true for the output. Build a complete substring in a buffer. 
Consequently. Flush the complete substring to the output.

Do not use Unbounded_String.
