Given that you can modify the mode of a stream_io file at any time
without changing your position in the file, would it not have made
sense to replace


	Set_Mode (File, In_File);
	do some reading
	
	Set_Mode (File, Out_File);
	do some writing
	
	etc. etc. etc.


with the ability to open the file in Inout_mode? Or is there some 
fundamental implementation reason that would prevent this?
