I can't comment on the original thinking behind this, but I agree that
something like:
String>>printOn: aStream
"Represent the receiver on the supplied stream"
aStream nextPutAll: self
would be much better.
If we're displaying values such as numbers and strings in a UI, e.g.
table, we normally don't want the strings always enclosed in quotes.
