Hi

I often end up forgetting a period.

printOn: aStream
�� super printOn: aStream.
�� aStream nextPutAll: ' "'
�� aStream nextPutAll: contents.
�� aStream nextPutAll: '" '.

And statically the system could see it with a simple heuristics:

�� if the message as the same name as self, super, a tmp or an argument

May be there is a missing period.

Could the compiler get this analysis?

The highlighter gives some hints ( as in this example, message nextPutAll:nextPutAll: isn't known).

And we have the RBUncommonMessageSendRule, but this rule only checks for messagenames like "self" or "true". It does not check the variables or argument names.
