   If the object is to send the size, followed by the data of that size,
then he can make two different "new Root_Stream_Type".  The
Write(Stream, Item) for one simply adds up the sizes of the Item array,
while the other Write actually outputs the Item array.
   Note that if the size of array bounds is to be excluded, then he
needs to use 'Write, not 'Output, for the size counting.
