The prefix of Universal_Literal_String must be a named
number. The static result is the string consisting of the characters of
the number as defined in the original source. This allows the user
program to access the actual text of named numbers without intermediate
conversions and without the need to enclose the strings in quotes (which
would preclude their use as numbers). This is used internally for the
construction of values of the floating-point attributes from the file
ttypef.ads, but may also be used by user programs.
