It's generally a good idea to make anything that will be constant defined
as such in the code, especially in Ada, which puts emphasis on strong
typing. It quite possibly could help optimize access to the array in the
code.

You do realize probably half the authors of the RM95 are reading this
message? :-) Honestly, I've found the RM95 pretty easy reading
compared to some of the other standards I've tried to read. 
(ISO 7185: Basic Pascal comes to mind as a fairly painful standard.)
