This is no longer true in Ada 2005. Eventually you'll be able to
instantiate the containers in your main subprogram.

True, but that's why we have the Indefinite_Hashed_Maps container package.
If you're manipulating strings, you should probably be using that.

Also, as I mentioned in an earlier post, you don't really need a map, since
all you're doing is performing a membership test. Hence, a (hashed) set
will do.

Get rid of this. Instantiate the Indefinite_Hashed_Sets (or _Maps, if you
prefer) with type String.

No. This should just be type String.

You can get rid of this.

If you used a (hashed) set, then all you'd have to say is

insert(dict, item);


> strings.fixed.delete(item, item_offset + 1, word'last);

You can get rid of this.

See, you're not using the map element at all. You're only using the key.

You can get rid of the types file, by using the indefinite hashed map (or
set), and instantiating it with type String.
