I love these kind of snippets :)
I have built a collection of freak expressions in Squeak3.9. Pharo 3.0 is less spectacular, above collection is shrinking dangerously... but there are still some not so unsurprising features to test for:
These are actually not that funny, we should try to do something about them, or at least discuss them a bit.
'hello' copyReplaceFrom: 6 to: 4 with: 'world'.
#copyReplaceFrom:to:with: seems overloaded with the insert case, is that really necessary ? still the fact that the $o appears twice feels like a bug, no ?
'Helloworldo' was indeed very surprising. Silent failures like this seem pretty dangerous to me.
Are you sure this is a failure ? :) From the comment of SequenceableCollection>>copyReplaceFrom: start to: stop with: replacementCollection
... If stop is less than start, then this is an insertion;....start = size+1 means append after last character....
The why is the result not 'Helloworld' ? or 'Hellworldo' ? Why does the $o appear twice ?
