Just use the Image function here:
https://github.com/zertovitch/hac/blob/master/src/hal.ads#L161
...and don't worry again anymore :-)

There is also a user-friendly Image for floating-points, and both are used for the concatenation "&" operator in the same package, so usually you don't need to type " 'Trim_Image" or "Image" at all.
