[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] FilePlugin>>primitiveFileAtEnd for non-regular files (#232)

[Nicolas Cellier]

For example in Squeak, we can rewrite atEnd like this:

    StandardFileStream>>atEnd
	"Answer whether the receiver is at its end. "
	collection ifNotNil: [ position < readLimit ifTrue: [ ^false ] ].
	self basicNext ifNil: [ ^true ].
	self skip: -1.
	^false

then entirely remove `primAtEnd:` which has no more sender.
I presume it should be more or less equivalent in Pharo.
Then tell about limitation and deprecation in `primitiveFileAtEnd` comment.
