Yeah, writing into an OrderedCollection with a stream is a bit suspect to
begin with. Both provide a way to grow an underlying fix-size collection as
you add more elements. If you have an OrderedCollection, you can just send
#add:, no need for a write stream. If you want to build a string, "String
new writing" will do the job, no need for an OrderedCollection.

Also, you can write an OC full of characters directly into a write stream
on a string:

chars := 'abc' asOrderedCollection.
String new writing
write: '123';
write: chars;
