Look for a problem involving the change to type Character: In Ada 83, it
had 128 characters; in Ada 95, it has 256.  Aflex has an array indexed
by Character, initialized with a 128-value aggregate, or something like
that, hence the Constraint_Error.

But somebody's already done this work.  Is it available somewhere?
