Actually, new people get into trouble all of the time with
that construct and end up with constraint errors.
When used in this form, someString needs to be extactly the
same length as the return length of Integer'image(someInteger).


What does work fine are:

a)

   Text_IO.Put_Line(Integer'Image(Some_Integer));

b)

   declare
     Some_String : constant String := Integer'Image(Some_Integer);
   begin
     ...play with Some_String
   end;
