No, the last operation called is "&", not Get_Line.
It might be considered a special sort of recursion -- "appending tail
recursion" -- and perhaps some Ada compilers might optimize such use of
"&" by just arranging for the variable Line and the result of the
recursive call of Get_Line to be placed contiguously in some sort of
return-value stack (secondary stack).
