There is a huge mess in #readFrom: implementation. Some classes will signal trailing characters as a bug, some other won't and will simply leave the stream positioned after the valid part. I propose to change this behaviour uniformly:
- readFrom: aStream will never fail on trailing chars (hey, it's a
stream, it's up to sender to interpret the tail)
- readFromString: aString will always forbid trailing char (it's not a
stream, so this garbage is most probably an error and cannot be ignored silently)
What do you think ?
This sounds right to me. I suspect that it might be difficult to do this without breaking some external packages, but it does seem like the right thing to do.
