<p>For example in Squeak, we can rewrite atEnd like this:</p>
<pre><code>StandardFileStream>>atEnd
"Answer whether the receiver is at its end. "
collection ifNotNil: [ position < readLimit ifTrue: [ ^false ] ].
self basicNext ifNil: [ ^true ].
self skip: -1.
^false
</code></pre>
<p>then entirely remove <code>primAtEnd:</code> which has no more sender.<br>
I presume it should be more or less equivalent in Pharo.<br>
Then tell about limitation and deprecation in <code>primitiveFileAtEnd</code> comment.</p>
