You may be right about that, but there is probably irreducible
complexity in unbounded strings. For my particular current purposes,
there is nothing between them performance-wise.

Only the fact that I'm just toying with a game program, and the socket
library already works (adasockets 0.1.6 IIRC), and the comms layer I
wrote works on top of it. Changing it in future won't be any big deal,
however, since it's abstracted away behind my comms layer.

Yes, indeed.

Well, I don't do pure "functional" as some people define it. I only
tend in that direction where I find it helpful. Ada is very much
procedural, however.
