Yes, a fixed vector container would be needed for interfacing (probably
wouldn't use it for anything else). But there's no reason that can't be
provided as a container, so long as representation guarentees (esp.
Component_Size) are included. Remember that containers (in Ada 202x) have
indexing, aggregates, and all of the useful basic operations. The stuff
that's missing is the same stuff that adds a vast amount of complexity to
Ada (and possibilities for bugs) - hardly anyone would miss it.
Randy.
