--  This package provides an interface between Ada.Wide_Text_IO and the
--  C streams. This allows sharing of a stream between Ada and C or C++,
--  as well as allowing the Ada program to operate directly on the stream.
--  Since Wide_Text_IO is a child of Text_IO, this package must be a child
--  of Text_IO.Wide_Text_IO. The library level renaming of Wide_Text_IO as

--  Text_IO.Wide_Text_IO makes this unit available as Wide_Text_IO.C_Streams.
