Because I need to have instances of a class to appear only once, but I want to be able to override instance when I add a new one. Dictionary does sound better to me. #noCheckAdd: would only work if both objects had the same equality definition anyway and other options always include two explicit operations (remove + add), while dictionary allows explicit writes and has #at:ifAbsent:put which will return the stored object or the newly put one if none was there.

Some debugger vars incorrectly displayed as nil

by Yuriy Tymchuk

Hi, some from time to time some variables are shown in the debugger as nils, despite the fact that they are not (if you inspect them you get a value). Is it a known issue? By the way in âall temp varsâ itâs displayed fine, Iâll add screenshots: Uko

Then what is good? Does it make sense to wrap dictionary and use keys for the part that I use for equality? Because I need to have instances of a class to appear only once, but I want to be able to override instance when I add a new one.
