Here's a package I've been tinkering with for a while in my spare time.
It was called "handy_pack" by I've decided to rename it.

---- synopsys translate_off

-- Constant Declarations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- count_for_time base size (60 means the timebase = 10E-60 seconds)
-- this value should be increased if round off error occurs
-- in a value computed by the function "count_for_time" or if
-- array length errors similar to this occur:
-- # ** Fatal: (vsim-3420) Array lengths do not match. Left is (96 downto 0). Right is (97 downto 0).
--
-- This value must be smaller than MAX_VECT_SIZE by a factor of 4 for
-- logic vectors 2 bits long and it must be smaller by a factor of 3.5 for
-- logic vectors longer than 2 bits

constant CFT_BASE_SIZE : natural := 30;


-- this value represents the largest size a logic vector may be for certain
-- functions and procedures in this package. It is used to set upper loop
-- limits for non-deterministic values thus avoiding the use of access
-- types and enabling the functions to be used for synthesizeable code.
--
-- This value may be increased (as high as natural'high will allow)
-- if a larger value needs to be represented, or it may be decreased
-- if compile time is excessive by modifying the CFT_BASE_SIZE constant

constant MAX_VECT_SIZE : natural := CFT_BASE_SIZE*4;

-- it is for use in pipelined implementations where

-- and passed back to the function along with the binary
-- vector input to be shifted out of its MSB
-- register and into the function as a new bit.
