I&#39;d read up on Higher Order Messaging as to me this is an application of it.<br>
Googling for it should give you some good results, one of the hits will most likely be a paper co-authored by Stephane which was presented at OOPSLA 2005 if I&#39;m not mistaken.<br>

It was pointed out that given an instance method<br>
�MyClass &gt;&gt; doSomething<br>
that<br>
�MyClass do: [:each | each doSomething].<br>
can be expressed as<br>
�MyClass do: #doSomething.<br>
<br>
Can someone suggest something to read that explains the usage of #<br>
here (#doSomething), the relation of methods to symbols, etc.<br>
<br>
Trying to wrap my head around it. Thanks.<br>
