Why do people insist that Ada.Text_IO.Put routines are potentially
blocking.

Discussion: {AI95-00178-01} Any subprogram in a language-defined input-
output package that has a file parameter or result or operates on a
default file is considered to manipulate a file. An instance of a
language-defined input-output generic package provides subprograms
that are covered by this rule. The only subprograms in language-
defined input-output packages not covered by this rule (and thus not
potentially blocking) are the Get and Put routines that take string
parameters defined in the packages nested in Text_IO.
