Actually, I do think so. It is quite possible to create "text files"
in an editor that don't have a line terminator on the last line. I've
had problems in the past with Ada Text_IO ignoring such lines, causing
an important line in a configuration file to be ignored. I can
understand the arcania behind the rule, and tell myself to make sure I
put a line terminator on the last line whenever I'm editing. However,
users who aren't Ada developers just don't understand, and (probably
rightly) consider it a bug.
