True, but don't all compilers these days support the SP annex, which
requires a fair amount of support for rep clauses?  Anyway, in practise,
"for Byte_Object'Size use 8;" will probably be accepted by every
compiler for every 8-bit-byte-addressable machine, and will work as you
expect.  It's just the 'Size on subtypes that has "questionable"
semantics.
