Is there a design reason why Get_Line in AdaSockets is a function and 
not comformant with the standard Get_Line for strings which is a procedure?

One of the problems with a function arises when one stores the result in 
a string and wants to find out the real length of the line (without 
using Unbounded or similar solutions). This is dealt with in 
Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line by returning the string and the real length via out 
parameters.

Are there any plans of adding a Get_Line procedure to the library?
