I wonder why this is such a FAQ, when the answer is right there in the
language, namely the Image and Value attributes which of course provide
exactly this functionality. At least in my case when I am teaching Ada, I
teach people about the Image attribute very early (this is my preferred
method for doing integer output for Text_IO, since, unlike Integer_Text_IO it
keeps working fine for derived types when you get to them).
