// When StreamWriter flushes for the first time, an encoding preamble is written to the stream,
// which is correctly mirrored by the behaviour of StreamReader.
// however, we're not using StreamReader, we read the contents of the stream
// using MemoryStream.ToArray(). This was causing one test to fail, as the first test
// that runs would cause the preamble to be written and not be accounted for when reading.
// Subsequent tests would pass since the preamble would not be written again.
// The following 4 lines ensure that the preamble is written by manually flushing the
// writer after writing a single space character. We then clear the stream, and allow
// unit tests to do their thing. This took me an HOUR AND A HALF to narrow down.
// I want to fucking die.
