The indices start at Integer'First. The exact value of Integer'First depends on
the compiler. You cannot count on the range of Integer being greater than a
16-bit signed integer.
This is mandated: ARM 4.3.3(26): "[The bounds of the index range of an
array_aggregate are determined as follows:] For a positional_array_aggregate
..., the lower bound is ... that of the corresponding index subtype ..."
