[Pharo-project] Print all Array either as literal form #( ... ) or brace form { ... } and abandon the default form anArray( ... )

Hi nicolas I saw the following: Print all Array either as literal form #( ... ) or brace form { ... } and abandon the default form anArray( ... ) Now I recall why I introduced anArray (....) for printing. This is for case where the { . } does not work. Imagine that you have an object that does not have a printing version The key point of the design of self evaluating was that you could select an expression ie {10@20 . 30@20} and print it and get the same object this way we could manipulate a lot of objects much better in an inspector or debugger. So if we { anObjectWithAWrongForm . 10@20} it defeats the purpose of self evaluating. since there are situations like that anyway this is why we decided to have anArray( ....) to really indicate that this could not be self evaluating. The form #() and {} on the other sides where always something that we could manipulate. so I had the impression that fixing some classes would be nicer than removing the distinction. Stef

I assume that it is planned to add some version of my/Levente's FasterSets code to Phare 1.1. If so, then then it may be confusing to make the FasterSets code and any hashedCollections code at the same time. I thus suggest that a final decision on FasterSets be made and get the changes done so any changes to hashedCollections can be done on top of FasterSets rather than in parallel. Regards, Ralph Boland -- Volume * Density = Mass. Volume / Density = Intelligence. The latter equation explains the essentially equal intelligence of men and woman and the capabilities of some commonly used operating systems.

Hello all, I'm stumped. How does the browser display the author initials/name/whatever-it-uses? Can I go from a CompiledMethod to the name of the author? Bill
