Why does this need a language feature? This is the sort of thing
that is perfectly easy to program in Ada now. Sure you might
get a little bit more efficient implementation if it was built
in, but compilers could already do that by use of Intrinsic
conventions, I see no reason for a new language feature here.
Does anyone have any experience with saturating numeric types
in existing Ada programs?
