[vhdl-200x-ft] Another Question FT-08

Looking at these funcitons in FT-08

   procedure HREAD (L: inout LINE; VALUE: out INTEGER; GOOD : out BOOLEAN);
   procedure HREAD (L: inout LINE; VALUE: out INTEGER);
   procedure OREAD (L: inout LINE; VALUE: out INTEGER; GOOD : out BOOLEAN);
   procedure OREAD (L: inout LINE; VALUE: out INTEGER);
   procedure BREAD (L: inout LINE; VALUE: out INTEGER; GOOD : out BOOLEAN);
   procedure BREAD (L: inout LINE; VALUE: out INTEGER);

The big question here is "do I have a signed or unsigned number?"
This was the main reason behing the "numeric_std" function.

I would rather make people use "numeric_std" than force an ambiguity that
we tried so hard to prevent.
