Natural range <whatever> has the same number of bits as Integer, which
has to be at least 16 and is very likely to be 32 (or maybe 64 on a 64-
bit machine).
type Short is mod 256;
for Short'Size use 8; -- a confirming representation clause
For those of a C background, Short is a bad name here. Byte?
Interfaces.Unsigned_8?
