You're joking, right?

I mean, if this is a way of helping me understand code by "commenting
it", I'd simply say Thanks, but no thanks!

If that's the way it's done in Smalltalk, I wonder where I have been the
last 17 years. I haven't done this and I can't remember seeing this. And
I've read and fixed quite some code in that time.
This is probably done in a Smalltalk environment that has no decent
version control system, just to avoid losing code you could probably
need again.
But I doubt anybody using Monticello or more advanced Smalltalk
versioning solutions really needs such a dirty workaround.

But I cannot prove you wrong. At least that piece of code is
functionally equivalent to a comment ;-)

So what you're saying is that I shouldn't worry about it. Okay, will do
;-)))
