It might turn out as an advantage if Ada programs don't to use
types named like that.
First, the standard says an implementation MAY provide them.
Second, if Ada programs call C functions that take C int arguments,
then argument types taken from Interfaces.C seem to be the obvious
choice.
Just state what's needed in the type's definition in your program,
referring to "externally defined" types as required.
