Pharo 7 new file stream encoders

I think the idea is to use ZnCrPortableWriteStream for that.

Hi,

Yes, I'll provide a PR with that functionality soon. Probably in that case *ZnCrPortableWriteStream* is not the right name for that class. Sven, do you think renaming it now (before it has lots of users) would be acceptable towards backwards compatibility? Otherwise I would name it ZnNewLineConverterStream...

Keep you updated,

Guille

Renaming is OK/better, if it works (critical class in IO)

Note #forPlatformLineEnding should do: OSPlatform current lineEnding
