Can anyone explain to me why this works fine:

((WriteStream on: (Array new)) nextPut: #foo) contents.

but this doesn't?

((WriteStream on: (OrderedCollection new)) nextPut: #foo) contents.

The debugger shows that WriteStream>>nextPut: invokes  
WriteStream>>pastEndPut: which invokes at:put: on the collection.

This is ok for an array, but not for an OrderedCollection, as  
OrderedCollection>>at:put: explicitly states it cannot be used to  
append stuff to the end of the collection.

Is it a bug in WriteStream that it sends at:put:, or does it just not  
make sense to have a WriteStream on an Ordered Collection?

(This is related to the split and join methods -- because of this  
limitation, an OrderedCollection cannot be used as a joiner, it seems.)
