Yes, I myself find the implementation hackish, but I wish I could see more pragmatic analysis based on exact usage of this message. The discussion isn't going forward, every one camping on its position. 1) Where is the message used ? 2) How would you refactor the senders ? 3) Does speed degrade ? 4) Does it matter ? For Pharo, I invite you to simply remove the compiler optimization, and run some benchmark. Then deprecate the message if you want (but you'll need a compatibility layer, notably for Cog).

Of course discussion is good. But turning your position into a religion and blaming other parties ignorance is bad. That's what the discussion seemed to be heading (at least to me) and I just tried to avoid that. Maybe I'm just too new in this community (and smalltalk in general, for that matter) and this is how you solve your discussions, but I just don't like arguments such:Â "I don't like it and everyone using it should die" :) Now that more voices have joined the thread I think we are actually getting somewhere :) Cheers Richo
