(Integer literals have one type Universal_Integer)

More generally the type "abstract integer" exists, but cannot be properly
used in Ada. In generics it is referenced as "range <>". This is a design

It means that it does not exist in the program. It may exist in the
programmer's head, one the paper etc, but that is irrelevant to the
language.
