As an alternative, don't convert a loop
variable to an integer if possible; instead,
consider what the loop variable is used for,
and whether the numbers you could be make
a numeric (sub)type of their own.

You can then use a technique such as the one
already mentioned ('Range) in another posting.

(Integer tends to invite many "evil" things
such as bound errors, lack of distinction between
numeric data, and more, and there is nothing
gained when using predefined Ada Integer
instead of your own problem's numeric types
