"Probably the best long term solution would be to add an attribute
function, analogous to 'Val, that does the modulo operation as part
of the conversion.  E.g. Modular_Int'Modulo(X) would never overflow,
and would perform the modulo operation as part of the conversion.
Might be a good "Uniformity Rapporteur Group" (URG) idea..."

That sounds useful, I think we will put this in the next version of GNAT.
