It sounds reasonable to me also.  As far as I know, the only reason that
integer types were not allowed is the one you list: that legacy designs
might be relying on tools that ignored the illegal ranges in

integer [high:low] i;

I presume that 'time' would also need to be excluded for the same reason.
