Sorry for hijacking the thread, I just wanted to be sure I understood it properly.
So now I think it's a kind of syntactical sugar for a nicer way of writing:
Array with: (builder newButtonFor: self action: #onPrestamosClick label: 'Prestamos' help: '') with: (builder newButtonFor: self action: #onMaterialesClick label: 'Materiales' help: '') with: (builder newButtonFor: self action: #onSociosClick label: 'Socios' help: '')
Does that sound like a good explanation?
Yes. frank

Guess it's a bit like the ##(some expression here) of VisualAge Smalltalk?
I think so, but I've only seen ##(foo) in GNU Smalltalk, where it's a compile-time literal: http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/gst.html

I wasn't being ironic, I just didn't know. In my 18 years of Smalltalk programming, I've managed to avoid coming across that particular syntax before. Is it Pharo-specific? It was introduced in Squeak quite early (before 2000).
