When I started to learn Ada, one of the most interesting features for me
was the possibility to declare integer type of the specified range.
I imagined that the integer type may be of any size.
However, several years later I needed big integers and I was
disappointed - Ada95 does not support integers of ANY size,
it can support only those integers that are supported
by the processor, or smaller.

Does Ada 2005 support big integers?
Where can I learn how to use them?
