<<No. Not really. I guess there's one minor point: there's this thing
called System.Max_Int, and it has to be some finite integer. And some
people write code that uses Max_Int to produce "the largest supported
signed integer type", and, perhaps, expect that type to be reasonably
efficient. It's mainly that the Ada 9X project had no mandate to make
any such wild-eyed changes.

Surely you are allowed (but not required) to implement arbitrary precision
for the type Integer'Base?
