[Pharo-dev] Polymorphism between Strings and FileReference

Hi, I am often in the case where I have a method taking a file or a string as parameter and I often want to use #readStreamDo:/#writeStreamDo: in the method because with I do not have to care if I need to close the file stream or not with those. But since String do not understand #readStreamDo:/#writeStreamDo: I cannot do that. Maybe it's worth to implement them on String? https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20796/String-should-understand-readStreamD... Since it add methods to String I prefer talk about it on the mailing list to have everyone's advice. -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr http://www.synectique.eu 2 rue Jacques Prévert 01, 59650 Villeneuve d'ascq France
