procedure type_qualification is
--In some situations an expression's or value's type can be ambiguous.
   --For example,
   type color is new integer;
   subtype primary is color range 1..20;
   type rainbow is new integer;
   subtype new_color is rainbow range 1..20;

 begin
--for i in red..blue loop -- this is ambiguous

-- Here we need to specify precisely what type is required. This is done with type qualification.
	for i in rainbow'(1)..rainbow'(5) loop
	-- for i in rainbow'(red)..blue loop -- only one qualification needed
	--for i in primary'(red)..blue loop
--Type qualification does not change a value's type. It merely informs the compiler of what type the programmer thinks it should be.
