One big downside to this:

Now, if a vector gets truncated in the
NUMERIC_STD.TO_STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(INTEGER, SIZE) function
you get the error message:

# ** Warning: NUMERIC_STD.TO_UNSIGNED: vector truncated

Which is kind of what the old Synopsys "std_logic_unsigned" package
does, but it does not tell you what function the warning came from.
