Hello Pascal,
Thank you very much for this great improvement over Unbounded Strings !
Sure a short string optimization, such a the one implemented in GNATColl.XS=
trings, would be appreciated.
As a personnal taste, I would appreciate to have a UXCharacter type that is=
 a Wide_Wide_Character, and an ASCII_Character, or a Char that is a subtype=
 of it.=20
I think that the ASCII_String could be a derived type of UXString since it =
is a proper subtype, that specializes the UXString to only ASCII Characters=
. Some primitive operations can then be overriden to take advantage of the =
direct mapping between bytes and characters.
Regards,
Vincent
