Unchecked conversion is a way of converting types and examples are in
GNAT's Annex B interfacing packages.

I reported what seems to be that same "Import" bug in March 2002 to
report@gnat.com. I did not get a tracking number so they probably knew
of it by 23 March 2002. [The example can be about as simple as possible].

Here is an example of a tracking number in the acknowledgement to an
unsupported customer. This number/code is "B927-006":

"[B927-006 public] Default initialization of controlled field not done in
 [nested] 2nd case [statement] in variant; ...".

That was 1 of 3 I sent in the last 12 days. I seem to have about maybe
2 in 3 reports be ignored (not in first).
