I assumed that Storage_Unit was 16, since the hardware doesn't support
byte access. Of course, I may have made a donkey out of someone and his
brother in so doing.

If needed, one can declare an Atomic mod 2 ** 16 type, and associated
unconstrained array type with Atomic_Components, and hopefully guarantee
the required behavior. If not, one can always guarantee appropriate
object code by using a machine code insertion.
