Our usual coding standards for critical and real-time work
advise against the use of enumerated types with rep. clauses -
the code gen. and runtime impact is just too gross.

Try compiling the example with "gcc -c -gnatG" and see
what you get!  (No particular issue with GNAT here, it's just
the -gnatG option is uniquely instructive in illustrating
the point).
