That's a corner case, and why Ada should do pre=E2=80=91tokenization for=
 this  =

single case? If end=E2=80=91of=E2=80=91line is made of two characters in=

environments, then the end of line token is not a character, or else it'=
s  =

a character in a kind of internal character set (what most people surely=

do, indeed, and that's out of the standard).
