I am certainly much less of a fanatic on the issue of avoiding the use of
predefined types like Integer than many others, but the above declarations
seem to use Integer quite gratuitously. Surely the bound that is spelled
as Integer'Last in the above should be a value driven by the design of
the abstraction???
