I was temporarilly insane. Thanks for the slap on the face. Of course this is
the right way to define 'long' integer types. I was fixated on forms with a
base/parent type:
subtype ST is Long_Integer range ...
type T is new Long_Integer range ...
/* My only excuse is that my brain is not naturally equiped to intuitively
grasp and store these differences. Were there many more like me and this
could be a message to language designers. But I'm probably the odd one. So
it's a message to me: start looking for a smaller language, as definitely the
ARM does not fit in your (my) head entirely. */
