Bob Love asks

"What method can I use to get back the bit pattern or integer
value represented by the enumerated type?  All my attempts at
type conversion and pos/val attributes have failed."


1) use unchecked conversion
2) if you are using GNAT, check out the 'Enum_Rep attribute, which does
	exactly what you want.
