Well Collection and Point understand that message too. One step at a time, but an issue entry now so we don't forget about it. http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2858 On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 5:20 PM, Carla F. Griggio <carla.griggio@gmail.com>wrote:
What we've been discussing with Guille is that sometimes the 'type checking' (or actually, the conversion) is done, and sometimes not.
For example:
5 + true
true does not understand 'adaptToNumber:andSend:', so no magic conversion is done, but strings understand that message so we get things like:
5 + 'foo' = 5
This should be consistent regardless the type of the parameter.
Cheers, Carla
