When I learned Pascal (not ISO), my understanding was that

type
A = 1 .. 3;

was called a subrange, and defined A as what Ada calls a subtype of
Integer. Since

B = 1 .. 3;

was another subtype of the same type (in Ada terms), assignment between
them was no problem.

That is the practical effect, but it is not what the formal semantics
actually says. And, of course, there is more to type than assignment.
