That's how you'd do that in Ada 83, but in Ada 95 you could do the same with
Stream_IO, without needing the weird instantiations. (Yes, you'd be assuming
that Stream_Element'Size = Character'Size, but since this technique really
only works on Windows and Unix anyway [as noted by others], that's not an
issue.)
