Michael Feldman (mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu) asks about the leading space in
INTEGER'IMAGE.
An Ada 9X Revision Request asking to eliminate this space was rejected
by the Requirements Team. I don't speak for the Team. However, I've
always assumed that the space was for symmetry with negative numbers.
That is, +N and -N always have a 'image of the same width.
Yes, getting rid of that space is a bother. Better is to instantiate
Integer_IO.
