Description:

a textCollectorStream is much like a regular writeStream.
In addition to collecting characters, it does a delayed update
of its collection, and may be used as a model for a TextView to
work like a TextCollector.

Currently ListViews are optimezed for StringCollections as model.
So stream on a StringCollection for best performance.
