<<Some Ada 83 compilers (Verdix in this case) do smart things for 'Size applied
to parameters: they return the value size for mode in parameters, and the
object size for mode out parameters (how they do it I don't know), which is
exactly what is needed to solve the above problem, but doesn't help when
porting to other compilers.

An obvious, but wrong, approach is to use the 'Constrained bit to indicate
whether the original object is constrained or not. This does not work,
because an originally unconstrained object can appear constrained because
of an intermediate parameter stage.
