In the standard, the definition of #contents for <WriteStream> comes
from <collectionStream> so that this:
(WriteStream on: String new) nextPutAll: 'abc'; skip: -1;
contents
should "return a collection that contains the receiver's past and future
sequence values, in order", i.e. 'abc'. To me it makes more sense that
it returns 'ab'.
Opinions?
