Sure, I've done this on many occasions. It's fine if you want the largest range, 
without any specific values for a minimum range. I often use it to have a 'Image 
for universal integers. "digits System.Max_Digits" is good for the case of 
universal reals.

On the other hand, from another thread, we have

type A is delta B range -1.0 .. 1.0;

and what "1.0 in A" is.
