Relevant to Pharo?
From http://forum.world.st/ByteArray-at-put-tp4955848.html :
We don't (want to) mix binary and character collections or streams. Going from one to the other is called encoding and decoding, it has to be done while being conscious of which encoding you are using. Sending #asByteArray to a String or #asString to a ByteArray is dangerous, lazy and wrong (in most cases), especially in an international context.
How do we capture these kinds of decisions? This is crucial information for people trying to migrate to Pharo. Stephan
