  62    -- Facilities Provided --
  63    -------------------------
  64 
  65    --  The SPITBOL support in GNAT consists of this package together with
  66    --  several child packages. In this package, we have first a set of
  67    --  useful string functions, copied exactly from the corresponding
  68    --  SPITBOL functions, except that we had to rename REVERSE because
  69    --  reverse is a reserved word (it is now Reverse_String).
  70 
  71    --  The second element of the parent package is a generic implementation
  72    --  of a table facility. In SPITBOL, the TABLE function allows general
  73    --  mappings from any datatype to any other datatype, and of course, as
  74    --  always, we can freely mix multiple types in the same table.
  75 
  76    --  The Ada version of tables is strongly typed, so the indexing type and
  77    --  the range type are always of a consistent type. In this implementation
  78    --  we only provide VString as an indexing type, since this is by far the
  79    --  most common case. The generic instantiation specifies the range type
  80    --  to be used.
  81 
  82    --  Three child packages provide standard instantiations of this table
  83    --  package for three common datatypes:
  84 
  85    --    GNAT.Spitbol.Table_Boolean     (file g-sptabo.ads)
  86 
  87    --      The range type is Boolean. The default value is False. This
  88    --      means that this table is essentially a representation of a set.
  89 
  90    --    GNAT.Spitbol.Table_Integer     (file g-sptain.ads)
  91 
  92    --      The range type is Integer. The default value is Integer'First.
  93    --      This provides a general mapping from strings to integers.
  94 
  95    --    GNAT.Spitbol.Table_VString     (file g-sptavs.ads)
  96 
  97    --      The range type is VString. The default value is the null string.
  98    --      This provides a general mapping from strings to strings.
  99 
 100    --  Finally there is another child package:
 101 
 102    --    GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns          (file g-spipat.ads)
 103 
 104    --       This child package provides a complete implementation of SPITBOL
