A reset question

|writeStream|
writeStream := String new writeStream.
writeStream nextPut: $a.
writeStream reset.
writeStream isEmpty.

What would you expect?

Cheers,
Henry

false.

I think you have a good point. #reset is ambiguous here.

Maybe we should have two methods: #resetIndex and #resetContent

Cheers,
Alexandre

Hehe, I have a sense others must have thought the same, I missed them first time around:

PositionableStream>>resetContents
        "Set the position and limits to 0."

        position := 0.
        readLimit := 0

WriteStream>>resetToStart
        readLimit := position := 0.
