(Object>> #hash) asString class
returns 'Text'.
I think this is historical. Methods *used* to return Strings, and the Browser highlighted the first line.
Than, when the possibility to have "Rich text" kind of methods (with bold, colors, links) added in Squeak, this was "implemented" by the "do the smallest change possible, we will rewrite everything anyway" strategy.
Never clean up! Never Refactor!
Wow, Marcus. Your hostility towards Squeak is seriously amazing.
Hey guys, don't ruin the peace just yet, okay? http://xkcd.com/386/
It's not hostility. Not at all. It's my *love* for Squeak that was/is the problem. I could just not do nothing, *because* I loved it so much... my mistake.
Loving something is never a mistake.
Even more so since CompiledMethod>>asString DOES NOT EXIST in Squeak.
So then I was wrong with this analysis... but on the big picture, it is true. And you know it.

Yep. Besides, who hasn't been surprised the first time you use #getSourceFromFile returns a Text? Certainly I was. It makes sense since source code for us is of course not just a string, but it's surprising nonetheless. /back to lurking - Bert -
