Hi,

reading this: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5303
I wonder if the plan is to replace FileStream by FSStream?

My vote would be no.

You'd be stuck chasing bugs trying to bring FSFileStreams up to pair with the normal FileStreams for many, many releases.

I'd rather try one of the approaches mentioned in the 2nd link, setting StandardFileStream as the default plugged-in stream implementation, so you could rewrite the path API manipulation in your code independent of the stream/file reading/writing.
