I was wondering the same. Anyway, I could at least materialize using this:

srs := SixxShapeChangeReadStream on: (FileStream oldFileNamed: 'xxx.xml').
srs shapeChangers at: #LargePositiveInteger put: LargeInteger.
 srs shapeChangers at: #True put: TrueClass.
srs shapeChangers at: #False put: FalseClass.
materializedObject := srs next .

I am not 100% if that is the correct way to do it but a simple view seems
the materialized graph is OK.

Cheers,
