There are several things in Ada that correspond to an unsigned byte on a 
byte-oriented machine: Interfaces.Unsigned_8 (ARM B.2), 
System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Element (13.7.1), and Ada.Streams.Stream_Element 
(13.13.1). And, of course, any user-defined type that is "mod 2 ** 8".

Usually you want to read a bunch of these at once. For the most general case of 
that, you read into an Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Array, using the Read 
operation in Ada.Streams.
