Robert Eachus says just use the Bounded Strings package and it should do
just what you want.
Suppose what you want is the following (easily provided by PL/1 for example).
I want several different strings, all bounded, with different maximum lengths,
and I want to be easily able to do operations between them.
True I can do:
if To_String (A) = To_String (B) then
but first of all, it is annoying to have to write the To_String calls, and
second, I will be willing to bet that all compilers will generate extra
copies to implement this (at least one for each call, and possibly more
than one).
I think that's the sort of thing that was being requested ...
