In this logging situation I'd want

(a) what Bub Duff has hinted at, Java's I/O layering, for
   modernizing Ada's Put operations,

(b) what Dmitry Kazakov keeps suggesting: MD, or, alternatively,
    what J.-P. Rosen has just said about generics.

I have used Image as a primitive operation, and this worked
for me, to some extent, but I'm not sure it could work for Ada.
Programmers will have to write and rewrite Image, while they
might expect something to be present already.
'Img works well for AdaCore it seems, like C works well for the
majority of embedded systems, in a similar fashion.
