String-Handling Sets and Mappings

The language-defined package Strings.Maps.Constants declares Character_Set and Character_Mapping constants corresponding to classification and conversion functions in package Characters.Handling.

Each of these constants represents a correspondingly named set of characters or character mapping in Characters.Handling (see A.3.2).

NOTE There are certain characters which are defined to be lower case letters by ISO/IEC 10646 and are therefore allowed in identifiers, but are not considered lower case letters by Ada.Strings.Maps.Constants.
