Hi!

Recently I found that GNAT 3.14p implementation of streams looks a bit 
strange. When a tagged object is written (S'Class'Output), then 
Write(Stream, Item) is called for each character of the external 
representation of tag _separately_. For types declared in deeply nested 
child packages it is about 100 separate calls.

This makes Ada.Streams near to unusable.
