Hi,

	I've recently started studying the Ada95 language.
	First experience with Ada...

	In the book I found a grammer rule for range specifiers
	which goes

	range_spec ::= name ' range ( static_expression )

	but I found no examples of the use of this grammer rule.
	
	What is this syntax used for ??

	I figure that the [name'range] means the range
	of the variable name. But what interpretation does the
	braketed static expression have on the range ??
