True. But it's pretty annoying that:

'Image of integers includes an unwanted leading space.

'Image does not provide the formatting control that Text_IO does.

You have to include the name of the type in the code.

'Image of enumeration literals does not print what appears in the source
code -- it converts to ALL_CAPS.
