Wrap-Up (was Re: Unchecked_Conversion on different sized types -- problem?)

["Mike Silva" <mjsilva@jps.net>]

Well, here's what I learned:

1) I can explicitly set the size of enumeration elements to Integer'Size,
avoiding the problem of converting between different-sized objects.

2) I can't even type in the simplest sample code without making a mistake (I
wasn't really using Text_IO.Put to send an Integer...)

3) I didn't think my problem all the way through -- since what I wanted in
the end was an enumeration-to-string mapping, there was no need to deal with
intermediate integers.

4) Enumerations with representation clauses seem to be a little like piggy
banks -- easy to fill, but harder to extract from.

So, my solution is to map an enumeration to an array of strings.  Thanks to
all for your comments.
