Which is exactly why using tags and streams is a good idea.
The main problem is that the package that defines the tag-type is not
WITH-able by packages that are Remote_Types / Remote_Interfaces.

So, even a function that has a parameter-footprint of
"Procedure ( Tag : In Out Ada.Tags.Tag )" is invalid

(WITH-ing Ada.Streams is fine because it is a Pure package.)
