"An implementation should support
Long_Integerin addition toIntegerif the target machine supports 32-bit (or longer) arithmetic. No other named integer subtypes are recommended for packageStandard. Instead, appropriate named integer subtypes should be provided in the library packageInterfaces(see B.2)."
Long_Integer is supported. Other standard integer types are supported
so this advice is not fully followed. These types
are supported for convenient interface to C, and so that all hardware
types of the machine are easily available.
