When I fully realized a few years ago that the predefined Float type,
unlike Integer, is an unconstrained type, it did make me wonder by what
rationale Float'Last has a value, since 'Last "denotes the upper bound
of the range of S" [3.5 (13)]. Of course in practical implementations
Float would have an upper bound, but the notion of an unconstrained type
having an upper bound seems awkward.
