So 2 and N are universal_integer and Pi is probably a universal_real.
I didn't know that one could ever do mixed-mode arithmetic in Ada, but
this is obviously allowed here. By the way, I don't see where in ARM
3.3.2 this mixed operation is described. Line 9 on that ARM page uses
2.0*Ada.Numerics.Pi which is not mixed mode. Is this described
somewhere else?
