There is a proposal to add pragma Remote_Types to some of the
predefined packages (see Ada Issue ai-00126, at
http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/standards/95com/ada-issues/).

However, even under this proposal, Ada.Strings.Bounded and
Ada.Strings.Unbounded are still non-remote.  I find this an
intolerable restriction, too, and I wonder if anyone sets out to
remedy this...
