<<Which translated should mean "No, we don't do any buffering". That is a
pity, because it would be a morale boost for many newbees that their Ada
programs were as fast on I/O as anybody elses C or C++ programs without
having to do any tweaking.

I think that the spitbol pattern matching library and I/O buffering
could have been a powerful combination. Assuming of course that the
library has a sensible interface.

I guess there is a language problem here. I said no such thing, and if
you read the GNAT manual, you will find a perfectly clear statement on
the situation in GNAT (which is that regular files are by default
buffered). So this "powerful combination" is there to use (assuming
you think the interface is sensible :-)
