Let me emphasize:

There's no reason for Size to be an object, much less a variable.

I agree that it should probably be constant, but why not give it a type,
as in:

Size : constant Integer := 10;

I think named numbers are a kludge, and should usually be avoided.

I would agree if Universal_Integer were a proper type name. Integer tells
too much.
