What do you mean by
"Text_IO has an undefined behaviour on what bounds lines."?

The procedures Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line and Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line certainly
know what "bounds lines."

True, the Stream_IO package does not allow the standard input to be
specified,
but that's not the proper package to use for dealing with _text_ streams.

The package Ada.TextIO.Text_Streams allows one to obtain the stream object
corresponding to the standard input -- i.e.:

Standard_Input_Stream : Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams.Stream_Access =
   Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams.Stream (Ada.Text_IO.Standard_Input);
