AI 270 is not a mere clarification, it changes the semantics of the
Ada language. I don't think these become part of the language
automatically.
(I think that AI 270 is pointless. Stream_Size won't give any
additional portability unless the order of stream elements can be
controlled, and the method of storing the sign, and the situations
were the range of type neither is not symmetric around zero.)
