In the case of changing 'ReadStream on: smth' to 'smth readStream' there is really nothing to change in external libraries. This change only enhance the code without changing anything. The refactoring can also be applied in some parts of the image without changing others. The change Bill proposes is completely different and I would propose to postpone it until we have more discussions and everybody agrees. There is no point in doing both at the same time. The changes are completely independent. -- Damien Cassou Peter von der AhÃ©: Â«I'm beginning to see why Gilad wished us good luckÂ». (http://blogs.sun.com/ahe/entry/override_snafu)

Re: [Pharo-project] About readStream on: vs readStream

I already gave my opinion that at least 3 times :-). Here is it again: - no more direct reference on ReadStream where it is not necessary - allows different implementation of #readStream depending on the receiver class (different collection classes can use specific streams as it is the case in Nile. In GnuSmalltalk, WriteStream>>readStream answers a ReadStream without needing copy the collection) - clarify the code: I noticed the code becomes much more readable - use a method that has been there for ages -- Damien Cassou Peter von der AhÃ©: Â«I'm beginning to see why Gilad wished us good luckÂ».
