I have a question about converting an OrderedCollection full of chars 
into a string. [1]

I would have thought there was a method like #asString that could be 
sent to an OrderedCollection to produce a string. I find myself having 
to do the process in three steps: 1) #reading the OC; 2) creating an 
empty string; and then, 3) iterating over every char to put it into the 
String.

I think I'm missing a simpler way. Especially with Xtreams. Shouldn't I 
just use a filter, change the #contentSpecies, or something?

     str := (String new: 20) writing.
