I disagree, unsigned in C *is* a modular type, you are saying
that it is often used in ways that do not take advantage of
the modular semantics, but for sure the modular type of Ada
is the right mapping, since it has identical semantics to the
C type. It would be quite wrong to map this into a non-modular
type, since in the general case, the wrapping semantics of
unsigned in C may be critical in a particular interface
situation.
