GNAT used to write strings to streams character-by-character, which is
seriously non-optimal (practically; if an exception occurs, who cares on
which character it happened?!)
But if you can't trust your compiler to write a string to a stream, what
can you trust it to do?
I wholly agree with "trust, but verify", though!
