A TextWriter is a sort of character output stream. It implements the cycle detection and formatting capabilities in E's primary printing mechanisms, E#toString/1 and Miranda __printOn/1.

XXX ...

The TextWriter supplied to __printOn is invalid after __printOn returns.

? var stream := null
? def capturer { 
>   to __printOn(s :TextWriter) :void { 
>     s.print("<capturer>")
>     stream := s
>   }
> }
# value: <capturer>

The particular problem might change, but anything but # stdout: Oops! is okay.

? stream.print("Oops!")
# problem: <NullPointerException>
