Clearly I meant things specified by the identifier *integer* or one of its
subtypes, not what the LRM (IMHO confusingly) refers to as integer types (which
includes modular types, as well as the type "integer"). Admittedly, the "proper"
LRM term for this is "signed integer type", but bringing up strict LRM
terminology in a beginner thread is only going to confuse the reader.
