Hi,

I'm starting to familiarize myself with new streams, and one thing I've noticed is the removal of #lineEndConvention (which I use all the time).

So a statement like this

aFile writeStreamDo: [ :stream |

stream lineEndConvention: #lf.

stream << '...'

has to be written like so

aFile writeStreamDo: [ :rawStream | |stream|

stream := (ZnNewLineWriterStream on: rawStream) forLf.

stream << '...'

which feels very messy because I am mixing writing with the configuration. And I don't even take account for buffered/encoded decorators. Plus it increases the incidental complexity -- I need another variable, and I can accidentally write to the wrong stream, etc.

Would a method like #writeStream:do: (or #writeStreamTransform:do:) make sense? E.g.

aFile writeStreamTransform: [ :stream | (ZnNewLineWriterStream on: stream) ] do: [ :stream |

stream << '...'

]

To separate the composition from the usage?

Thanks,

Peter
