If you don't write "PASCAL", why on Earth do you write "ADA"???!!!

Ada has many ways to treat bits as boolean values: (uncheckedly) convert
between a modular type and an array of Boolean; a record type with
Boolean components and representation clauses...

Sorry, the Pascal reference I have here (Report 3rd ed., 1984) does not
have the "absolute" keyword, so I cannot interpret your code further
just now. Since when is "absolute" in the standard, BTW?
