I just discovered that in Pharo 3 you can do:

[ :bool | self logCr: bool. bool := false. self logCr: bool. ] value: true

Is this a bug or a feature ?

That's not a shadow, from what I can see? It is an assign-to-a-block-argument, which I'd frown upon. | bool | bool := true. [:bool | "<-- shadow!" self logCr: bool] value: bool is a shadow. Unless I'm missing something? frank

I am fighting with this every day in javascript, and I do not know about to feel about this :s
