guess it was writeTo() ;-) but "writeFrom" is nice as well, we should
find some useful use for it
It was proposed as writeTo, but I'm not opposed to a different name.
I have no problem with writeTo(). I just couldn't remember what it was and
didn't want to take the time to look it up, and the name isn't as obvious as
toString(), since it's not a standard name which exists in other languages, and
it isn't actually returning anything. Whether it's to or from would depend on
how you look at it - to the given delegate or from the object. But writeTo() is
fine. Once it's used, it'll be remembered.
I don't think it's entirely fine. It should at least have
"string"/"String" somewhere in the name. (I mentioned this on the other
original thread, although late in time)
