This is missing at RM 3.6.3(4/2), where type String is defined. This unfortunate omission has to be corrected. **************************************************************** Editor's note: This has been true in every version of Ada I can find (and I looked at Ada 83 and even Ada 80). So this cannot be very important to anyone, since this is the first time that anyone has complained (30+ years later). Moreover, Pack has no visible semantic effect for clients (the Packing aspect can't be queried). Thus we conclude this isn't worth the effect to change. ****************************************************************
