No, of course not.  The exception handled (and re-raised) here can be from
Open (with any other exception except Name_Error), from Create, Put_Line or
Close.

The purpose here was not to completely re-wrire his program -- so I kept its
basic structure (including its structural flaws), and simply illustrated how
to be a little more elegant with informing of exceptions.

"Real" code I write would get a hard-copy desk check, rather than just
looking at the code on the screen -- which is what happened here.
