Robert, thank you for your cogent points about Ada's suitability for use in

I do that already:
type Nibble is range 0 .. 15;
for Nibble'Size use 4;
type Nibble_Array is array (Positive range <>) of Nibble;
for Nibble_Array'Component_Size use 4;
Or were the values of Nibble type character literals? If so, let me know
and I'll show you how to declare it that way, too.
Ada: the language for a complex ... medical device!
