I wrote Nile results.

About Nile, don't know if it is the right place, but I have a few
questions about implementation...
(I looked once a year ago but now have new light of recent trials on XTream)

Why NSMultiByteBinaryOrTextStream don't use a NSDecoder pattern ?
Maybe it would help retiring the basicNext & co protocol...

Why does NSTDecoder peek answers nil when atEnd ? Cannot nil be a
regular answer ?

Why NSBuffer use hardcoded buffer length of 100 ? Is this just an example ?
I ask because buffering is a key to efficiency both for files and TextConverter.

Micro-detail in NSTReadingChunks:
Why #skipSeparators use explicitRequirement whiel
#skipSeparatorsAndPeekNext provides an implementation for
skipSeparators (test isSeparator)

This is a first fast read of source, no time to even load or execute,
but I can see a lot of work here.

Cheers

Nicolas

I will answer part of your questions and let Cyrille answers the others:

because it is what core streams are doing and I wanted to mimic core
streams to be able to replace them easily. Once replaced, we will be
able to change things.

this is a stupid proof of concept implementation that we will have to
change when we decide to do something serious with it.
