The RM says that explicitely:
RM 3.5 (4): "A range has a lower bound and an upper bound and specifies
a subset of the values of some scalar type (the type of the range). A
range with lower bound L and upper bound R is described by ``L
.. R''. If R is less than L, then the range is a null range, and
specifies an empty set of values. Otherwise, the range specifies the
values of the type from the lower bound to the upper bound, inclusive."
RM 3.5 (8): "A range is compatible with a scalar subtype if and only if
it is either a null range or each bound of the range belongs to the
range of the subtype. A range_constraint is compatible with a scalar
subtype if and only if its range is compatible with the subtype."
So 1 .. 0 or -5 .. -7 are null ranges, thus compatible with a Positive
range.
