   At last!  An opportunity to nitpick one of the comp.lang.ada 
greats.  (Or embarrass myself horribly -- you be the judge.  :-))  I 
would certainly hope that the allowable range of values for type x
is 0..9.  ;-)  Otherwise, what about this:

   V1 : constant x := 0;
   V2 : constant x := 10;
   if (V1 = V2) then Text_IO.Put_Line("Zero equals Ten."); end if;
