Hi Sean--
How is #name used by the system? I often want to use it in my classes, but I don't want to mess with whatever Object is doing with it. There are +++ senders.
And several implementers that could be using more descriptive selectors, too, which makes answering the question harder, of course.
On the flip side, should the system use a different, more specific, intention-revealing selector to avoid this confusion?
Certainly. From my work with minimal systems (which includes logging many specific send-sites), I'm convinced that this behavior should have a more descriptive selector, and is not essential to Object anyway. -C -- Craig Latta www.netjam.org/resume +31 6 2757 7177 + 1 415 287 3547
