If there was ONE decision in DEC Ada V1.0 that I would get a chance to undo, it
would be the silly way we did UNSIGNED_* and especially UNSIGNED_LONG.
We have had more grief from this than any other 'feature'. But we can't
change it because that would be an upperwards-incompatible change, and our
commitment to our existing customers negates our desire to fix it for our
new ones,.
