Re: RE: rename missing in Text_IO

Yes sir! Very much so sir!

Every time I have to dip into the Win32ada interfaces to get at Windoze, I
wish I had an ever-so-slightly thicker binding that simply had its own
parameter passing and data typing and all that so I don't have to deal with
all the long chains of types & subtypes and ridiculous parameters that the C
calls impose. Just clean it up and make it Ada-ish.

Above that, one can always build a thicker binding such as what one might
find in Claw. But at least let me connect to the bare OS using The Ada Way
rather than C. Typically, I roll my own, but I only do so for the packages I
need at the moment. It would be nice to have one for the whole interface -
especially when it gets hard to understand what the C functions are doing
with the parameters. (Ada is ***SOOOOO*** much nicer in the way it passes
parameters!)
