I tried the Pharo change in Squeak. It is a seemingly small change, but it breaks
WriteStreamTest>>testStreamContentsPositioning, which is a serious failure. I think
this means that an important performance optimization for String>>streamContents
would be broken. Pharo probably does not have that optimization, so the problem
would not be noticed there.
