Ada.Wide_Text_IO is similar to Ada.Text_IO in its handling
of stream pointer positioning (Text_IO). There is one additional
case:
If Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Look_Ahead reads a character outside the
normal lower ASCII set (i.e., a character in the range:
Wide_Character'Val (16#0080#) .. Wide_Character'Val (16#FFFF#)
then although the logical position of the file pointer is unchanged by
the Look_Ahead call, the stream is physically positioned past the
wide character sequence. Again this is to avoid the need for buffering
or backup, and all Wide_Text_IO routines check the internal
indication that this situation has occurred so that this is not visible
to a normal program using Wide_Text_IO. However, this discrepancy
can be observed if the wide text file shares a stream with another file.
