Can't remember the number of times I've had to implement these kinds of generally useful methods on various Smalltalk dialects (particularly #groupedBy:, called it #categorizedBy: myself ;-) ). Really should be part of all Smalltalks. I'd push for general adoption/standardisation for every dialect! That's the only way Smalltalk is going to evolve, the "ANSI standard" is years behind!
Regards, Gary.
So why do we do pharo. Really. If everything as to be compatible with other smalltalk. Terrible. Can't we get smarter? Why can't we tag the methods with <notAnsi> and build a tool that check when you do a fill out. I do not write code to be portable to VisualWorks so?
I would prefer to have such extension methods separate from the core.
Me not. Because then in a lot of places I will have to inline their body.
