The error on:

integer T;
integer U = T'(3.14159);

does not wait until runtime to be shocked, shocked to find that T is neither a type nor a constant.

casting_type ::= simple_type | constant_primary | signing | string | const                  
simple_type ::= integer_type | non_integer_type | ps_type_identifier | ps_parameter_identifier

The scanner makes this distinction much earlier.
