I suspect the 'Truncation' attribute is more likely to be what Phadreus is
looking for (see RM95 A.5.3), since it 'chops off' the fractional part,
whether the number is positive or negative. As for efficiency, I would
guess that the use of the attribute is likely to be the most efficient
implementation for the vast majority of (native code) compilers.
