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. ;)
