Re: Ada.Containers.Vectors - querying multiple elements

Hi Jeffrey,

that isn't the only way of using an array. The example of recursive
algorithms taking subarrays was already mentioned. With the spec you
included, it looks like you would have to use the Slice function to
get a subarray - this means returning a copy on the stack, which is
unacceptable if the array is long, and also problematic (=maybe very
costly) if it contains controlled elements.

Also, if you want to use a low-level or legacy routine that operates
on an array, then you have a similar need to copy.

Ciao,
