"In practice, of course, all of this is a non-issue, since in my compiler
(and I expect in most compilers) both forms use the conventions for text
files on the platform.  It could be very much an issue if my program
needed to write Ada code to be compiled on some other platform."

Most, but not all, for instance, on an IBM mainframe, one would expect
the source representation to be EBCDIC.
