OK, if it hurts, don't scrach it! Use 'Image for debugging purpose, and
Text_IO for the real stuff.

Oh, and there is another good reason to prefer text_io: if you Put a
'image on a fixed line length file, the number (actually the string
representing it) can be wrapped in the middle. If you use a put for your
type and the line is not long enough to hold it, you'll get a clean
New_Line and the number will appear (in full) on the next line.
