I should give an example why this is not useful for me.
While developing, I use >>inspect to see, what is in any object AND I want the app to proceed. E.g. while creating a report, I want to see the table columns in an inspector. I don't want to halt and debug, I only want to see an inspector.
self currentPage add: (PDFDataTableWithColumnsCaptionElement new captions: self costReportDaysTableColumns inspect; data: ...;
Now, I have to write it like that
self costReportDaysTableColumns inspect. self currentPage add: (PDFDataTableWithColumnsCaptionElement new captions: self costReportDaysTableColumns ; data: ...;
Yes, this is possible but it is not so easigoing as simply put an inspect somewhere.
you still can use it: self currentPage add: (PDFDataTableWithColumnsCaptionElement new captions: (self costReportDaysTableColumns inspect; yourself); data: ...;
Remarks: 1) I develop a seaside app. I am not interested in the System Window;-) 2) I cant find a selector >>onWindowClosed: 3) >>inspect is a selector which exists in every smalltalk dialect. In every smalltalk dialect I worked with, inspect returned the receiver. It is kind of standard IMHO.
