I don't think I understand. Why not
type Buffer_Type is new Root_Stream_Type with record
Last : Natural := 0;
Data : Stream_Element_Array(1 .. 1000);
end record;
Then each 'write can append its stuff to Data and increment Last
and when they have all finished you have a count and a Stream_Element_Array
to pass to your IO output routine.
