Why should it? It is a text I/O not a stream I/O.

Shudder. I am programming both in Ada and C. C's I/O is a disaster, I do
prefer Ada packages for I/O. Formatting/serialization is a totally
unrelated issue. I wonder why people paying so much attention to admittedly
broken and misplaced formatting of Ada.Text_IO in the times of GUIs. It
won't work anyway. It is not a text anymore.
