I'm trying to understand why pharo modifies squeak behavior of ifNotNil: and introduces the optional parameter... is there a reason?
Squeak for that matter is incompatible with all other existing Smalltalk implementations. Luckily that was changed in Pharo. the compiler can easily figure out if an argument needs to be passed into the block or not. There is really no need for all these ugly #...Do: methods.

Yes, I understand... but now I have a compatibility issue with OB-Tools (works on pharo, doesn't works on squeak) :( Anyway, I understand :) Cheers, Esteban
