This may be any discrete type, including an enumeration type. Arithmetic is not 
defined for enumeration types, so you do not automatically get "+" for this. You 
either need to explicitly require a "+" function ("with function "+" ...), or 
use a generic formal type that does include "+": "is range <>" or "is mod <>".
