The library package
Text_IO.Text_Streams has the following declaration:

with Ada.Streams;
package Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams is
type Stream_Access is access all Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;

34 The ability to obtain
a stream for a text file allows Current_Input, Current_Output, and Current_Error
to be processed with the functionality of streams, including the mixing
of text and binary input-output, and the mixing of binary input-output
for different types.

35 Performing operations
on the stream associated with a text file does not affect the column,
line, or page counts.
