Hi, do you think the following behaviour is normal ?
-----
subtype Upper is character range 'A'..'Z' ;
begin
Put(Upper'Pos('A')) ;
-----
Output : 65 

I was expecting 0 since 'A' is the first element of Upper but i got
the ranking of 'A' in the Character type.

What's the point of defining constrained subtype if we can't use the
attributes on it ? Or am i missing something ?

I use gnatmake to compile.
