Convert a WriteStream into a ReadStream.
Beware, this version is optimized to avoid a copy, but is sharing some state.
Thus:

        s := WriteStream on: String new.
        self writeSomethingOn: s.
        self readSomethingFrom: s readStream.

is a good replacement for:

        s := ReadWriteStream on: String new.
        self writeSomethingOn: s.
        self readSomethingFrom: s reset

But avoid overwriting like this:

        w := String new writeStream.
        self writeSomethingOn: w.
        r := w readStream.
        self writeSomethingElseOn: w reset.
        self compare: r to: w readStream.
