I think you should implement it as a pointer, because you need to make
sure the size is right; here (OS X), a pointer is 64-bits, whereas an
integer is 32-bits.

But noone else needs to know!

   type Nl_Sock (<>) is private;
   --  the constraint means that users can't create uninitialized
   --  instances

private

   type Nl_Sock is access all Integer;
