Re: [Pharo-project] another fun case for Linked>>add:

Thanks for the info :)

...

yeah, i think its protocol could have two entry points: - #add: for adding an object to list - #addLink: for linking a link to list

so, that, #add: always creates a new instance of ValueLink , without asking object to do #asLink and then sends #addLink: , which does the rest. I don't quite see the appeal in an approach which both has a more complicated protocol, and is backwards-incompatible.

Cheers, Henry

PS. We DID consider other possible solutions before deciding to add "yet another" as... method to Object
