It should be: Override postCopy instead. Levente
^self shallowCopy postCopy
shallowCopy "Answer a copy of the receiver which shares the receiver's instance variables. It should never be overridden. I'm invoked from the copy template method. Subclasses that need to specialize the copy should specialize the postCopy hook method."
The references to #postCopy are probably valid, but the comments above can't both be correct. Right??
