I do not know the reason, but it appears this is less a trouble with  =

Integer and the like, as it is unlikely some one will think of it as an =

entity name.

This is more likely to occur with a type like String, but Line and Text =

may be good alternative entity names for that case.

The more a type is complex, the more it will hold a semantic, and the mo=
re  =

its name is going to be the same as a names of choice for entities.

Integer means really nothing : not a measure, not a count, not a quantit=
y,  =

not anything. Then after, if you define a derived type, like Weight_Type=
,  =

Cardinal_Type, etc, these Weight and Cardinal really means something, so=
  =

their variables have a strong potential to be of the same name. No chanc=
e  =

this will occur with a name like Integer. Integer is too much simple and=
  =

basic to hold any semantic (it has specifications, not semantic).

There is also the special case of Character the OP introduced  =

(synonymous). This one is another story.
