The method comment in Object>storeOn:
says the following:
 "Append to the argument aStream a sequence of characters that is an
 expression whose evaluation creates an object similar to the receiver."
This leads me to think that
Compiler evaluate: aStream contents
is the Right way to do it. I tested this just for Characters
but as long as the code is not broken this should work for any Object that
supports being stored on a Stream.
