Hmmm, you know, Ada is a strongly typed language, therefore what you put
in a buffer must have a well defined type.

There are two possibilities:
1) If you can accept several buffers, one for each type, make it generic
and instantiate it as many times as you need

2) Make a buffer of Stream_Elements, and use the streaming attributes
('Read, 'Write) to turn any type into stream elements.

Ada.Streams.Stream_IO can also be handy in some cases.
