I see well your problem. We want to have symbol without getting with it the parser and compiler. three questions - can we package isLiteralSymbol: with compiler? - what are the senders? - else do we have an alternate implementation not relying on scanner? Stef

Hello,

I wonder why the method isLiteralSymbol: is in the Scanner methodDict instead of the Symbol (or maybe String) one ?

Moreover there is no reference to self or variable in this method ...

And due to this method, there is a dependence between Symbol and Scanner (and then the Compiler)

Thank you for answering another one of my noob questions ^^
