Except that printf allows you to more easily get fancy with formatting of
the variables, e.g. %08x, or %7.3f. You can do this kind of thing with
text_io, but it's a lot more keystrokes.
In general, I think formatted I/O is a little more difficult in Ada, but Ada provides
many things that C can't do easily or at all (e.g. string slices, 'image for enumerated
types).
