Actually it depends whether you use 'Write or 'Output.

'Output writes the bounds, then the content; 'Write just writes the
content (so the recipient needs to know the length some other way,
perhaps by consistent use of a constrained subtype, perhaps by you
explicitly 'Write-ing the length first).

(2) for 'Write; (18) for 'Output.
