The ! delimits what are called "chunks" (!'s occurring within the chunk are doubled). You can see how this stuff works by looking at:

senders and implementors of #nextChunk, #nextChunkPut: and a few variants.

PositionableStream, WriteStream and ReadWriteStream - method category "fileIn/Out"

methods whose selector contains: "filein" or "fileout" using the method finder.
