S-expressions are bad, but not that bad. They have binary data encoded as
hexadecimal strings.

Luckily, Ada makes it difficult to write C equivalents. In Ada a
"non-equivalent" could be:
with Ada.Streams; use Ada.Streams;
with Interfaces; use Interfaces;
with Ada.Exceptions; use Ada.Exceptions;
function Get (Stream : access Root_Stream_Type'Class) return Unsigned_16 is
Result : Unsigned_16 := 0;
begin
if '#' /= Character'Input (Stream) then
Raise_Exception (Syntax_Error'Identity, "Opening '#' is expected");
end if;
for Octet in 0..3 loop
Result :=
Result + Character'Pos (Character'Input (Stream)) * 2**Octet;
end loop;
if '#' /= Character'Input (Stream) then
Raise_Exception (Syntax_Error'Identity, "Closing '#' is expected");
end if;
return Result;
end Get;

I don't think that were an invention. The program in C or Ada that does not
check the format of the input is broken to me.
