Zbig asks
"I need to input/output valus of Time_Span variables declared in
Ada.Real_time package. I know how to do it "indirectly" (via conversion
from Duration type). Is it however possible to instantiate Ada.Text_io
generic package to input/output Time_Span variables directly?"
Of course not, you can only instantiate the generic packages in Text_IO
on appropriate types, and Time_Span is a private type. The whole point is
that you CANNOT assume anything at all about the representation of
Time_Span.
