Actually I did! An Ada::Range template.

Most used type is "Ada::Natural" since most C++ programmers can't even get
int and unsigned right and sadly they do write libraries I have to use.

There is of corse a weekness:

typedef Ada::Range<int, 1, 12> Month;
typedef Ada::Range<int, 1, 12> US_Hours;

And please: I know I could use classes. But that is just another ugly hack!
And why must save and secure be an ugly hack?

With Regards

Martin
