Description

BasicEventStream expects events to be written to text files as:
context1 context2 context3 ... outcome

FileEventStream expects events to be written to text files as:
outcome context1 context2 context3 ...

toString() of Event creates:
outcome [context1 context2 context3 ...] (note the square brackets, which are part of context predicates when breaking on spaces).

This is highly confusing and took me some time to understand. I guess this should be unified?
