Stream_Element is already a perfectly good numeric type; why do you
want to convert it to another numeric type?
If it's because you want to write it to a text file, instantiating
Ada.Text_IO.Modular_IO is better.
But if you insist, this is just a numeric type conversion:
A : Stream_Element := 2;
B : Integer := Integer (A);
