Get_Immediate falls a bit out of Text_IO, since it does not update the
column, line and page counts.

It returns the next character in the file. If EoL is coded as
characters, it will return them, else it will silently skip to the
next line and return the first character. It simply returns any
Control characters that might be in the file, other than the Get
routines.
