Enhancement Detail:
----------------------------
function "&" (
  l : in string;
  r : in unsigned
) return string ;

function "&" (
  l : in unsigned ;
  r : in string
) return string ;

function "&" (
  l : in unsigned; 
  r : in unsigned
) return string ;

constant A : unsigned := "1010" ;
signal Y : unsigned(7 downto 0) := ("0000" & A) + 1 ;
. . .
Y <= (A & A) + A ;
Write(Output, "A twice: " & A & A & " Y = " & Y) ;
