After a little more reflection it occurs to me that what I really want is
for the format of data on a stream to be dependent on the stream, or at
least be capable of being dependent on the stream.
For example, within one application I may want to stream information to a
network in big endian format and stream information to files in little
endian format. From what I understand (I may certainly be wrong) I cannot
do this in Ada. If I want this functionality I must resort to C++.
