Hi,

Out of curiosity.

I always found the #min:max: confusing and lost in its expressiveness.

One should write:

10 min: 48 max: 12

I do not understand the result :) To me this method is illnamed.

to expect 12.

but logically one (at least me) may want to express it as:

10 min: 12 max: 48

Then when reading its source code, it is even more confusing:

min: aMin max: aMax ^ (self min: aMin) max: aMax

Are not the argument names inversed in their meaning, if any?
