We had a user report what appeared to be a code generation error against one of our
compilers (the specific vendor to be nameless, for reasons which will become
clear). The code was generating cage values as 1,2,3,4,5,_6_, etc. The
response from the vendor was, "That's not a bug, Succ works on the base type."
We checked, and of course Succ does work on the base type. However, as was
noted, that's not relevant to the example. So, I decided to post the example,
without an opinion as to whether it would work or not, and see who was right
(us or the vendor). Thanks for all the input; we will include it when we
resubmit the problem.
