Well you won't get very far trying to instantiate Stream_IO, since it is
not a generic package! Just with it, and then use the subprograms much
as you would in the case of Text_IO, except that the actual stream
operations are typically done using the standard stream attributes,
e.g. x'Output (stream, item) to write and X'Input (Stream) to read.
