   --  other than those defined in package Standard. Names is a string with a
   --  lower bound of 1 containing the characters of all the enumeration
   --  literals concatenated together in sequence. Indexes is the address of an
   --  array of type array (0 .. N) of Natural_8, where N is the number of
   --  enumeration literals in the type. The Indexes values are the starting
   --  subscript of each enumeration literal, indexed by Pos values, with an
   --  extra entry at the end containing Names'Length + 1. The reason that
   --  Indexes is passed by address is that the actual type is created on the
   --  fly by the expander. The value returned is the desired 'Image value.
