Yes, Text_IO itself... To be more precise, the generic packages (e.g.,
Integer_IO, Modular_IO, ...) contained in Text_IO.  This means that
you will need to specialize them before use.  Check Appendix A.10 of
the beloved RM (Reference Manual) for more informations.

Example:

--- File test.adb ------
with Text_Io;

procedure Test is
   -- Specialize Text_Io.Integer_Io
   package Int_Io is new Text_Io.Integer_Io(Integer);

   Buffer : String(1..5) := (others => 'x');
begin
   Int_Io.Put(Buffer, 42);
   Text_Io.Put_Line("[" & Buffer & "]"); -- will print [   42]
end Test;
