And I think to fix it we need to actually discuss about what we want.
#allButFirst: behaves differently depending on the actual type of sequenceable collection when argument is greater than collection size.
For instance:
#(1 2) allButFirst: 3. "PrimitiveFailed signaled"
(LinkedList with: 1 with: 2) allButFirst: 3. "PrimitiveFailed signaled"
(OrderedCollection with: 1 with: 2) allButFirst: 3. "an OrderedCollection() ��
The question is then, who is right?
Should #allButFirst: with an argument greater than the collection size raise an error
Or
Should #allButFirst: with an argument greater than the collection size returns an empty collection ?
I asked a few people about it @ ESUG and it appears that the expected behaviour from #allButFirst: is not the same to all people.
We need to decide so we improve consistence of collections.
And then, we need to document that with a test :-).
Cheers.
