Exactly. However there are cases like copying element of one array into
another, when you have to specify the index type explicitly. I always
wished an attribute Index, which for arrays would yield the index subtype
of the array:
Index : A'Index;
Another issue is shifted views of arrays. E.g. when you get two arrays A
and B, you could bring them to a coherent index range.
