Unfortunately not (as I read it!)
Each object in a stream has a tag appended to it so that the
procedure S'Class'Read can reconstruct the value from the tag
contained within the stream (13.13.2.14).
As well the representation of stream elements is implementation
defined (13.13.2.17)
The best solution seems to be to use pragma import or use the
Posix_IO package.
