After reading some posts here lately I have understood that the compiler
can optimise out boundary checks on say arrays if you do this:

   type Index_Range is range 1 .. 10;
   type Items is array (Index_Range) of Natural;

But if you write:

   type Items is array (1 .. 10) of Natural;

is boundary checks then on?
