If you want to reach Monty, I suggest sending feedback directly.

The missing #asFileReference is probably a symptom of the missing 
Filesystem package[1]. I suppose Monty's version depends on that package, 
as it was integrated into Pharo.

Btw, I think you need to handle character encodings in your workaround.
FileStream would do that (sort of) but StandardFileStream does not.
