It only makes sense to convert to a float then to an integer - what
if there is no fixed point value that has the same magnitude as an
integer value? It is annoying though, when in 'real life' you don't
really care about the middle conversion, e.g.
My_Int := My_Int_Type (My_Float_Type'Floor (My_Fixed_Type'(1.5)));
My_Int should be 1.
I've just been throew this one myself and if you think long
and hard you will see the logic :-)
