Actually not.  The 'RANGE and 'REVERSE_RANGE attributes in VHDL can only
be used with array types.  Thus in Ada you can write

    for i in character loop ...
or
    for i in reverse character loop ...

But in VHDL you must do

    for i in character loop
or
    for i in character'high downto character'low loop

because the construct

    for i in character'reverse_range loop

is illegal.
