  In the index of my "Ada 95: the craft of object-oriented programming",
the first reference under "type conversions" is to page 68, which has
"I := Integer (T);".  In my "Ada as a second language" second edition,
the first index reference under "Type conversion" "between numeric types"
is to pages 239-240, which have "The form of a type conversion is
subtype-name ( expression )
where the subtype name names the subtype to which the value of the
expression is to be converted."
  Perhaps these will become clearer after a good night's sleep. ;)
