Then you also need to specify an encoding. Otherwise it does not make
sense for a FSReadStream to return a String.
Strictly speaking the FSWriteStream shouldn't accept a String as input
either.

there should be a clear separation between binary and text.
I think that mixing the code for text and binary modes in single class
is a source of errors and confusion.
The code:
stream := (working / 'foo.txt') writeStream.
should be something like:
stream := (working / 'foo.txt') writeStream textStream.
where textStream should answer the wrapper stream around the original
stream, something like:
textStream
^ UnicodeTextWriteStream on: self
then when you do:
stream nextPutAll: 'abc'
the wrapper stream takes care about converting input string into
bytearray and then passing it further to basic stream.
Of course there could be an optimization, if input string are
bytestring etc , but model should be separated.
