Please disregard my note below..

I confused myself by signaling concrete Notifications in my code, not remembering that other subclasses of Notification would be getting caught in my handler. Oops!

Probably better to subclass with my own and use that..

Sorry. - Chris

PS - that is an clever way to access a preference and still have an apparently thread-safe way to change it dynamically, using a resumable exception!

In a stock 3.4 image, print this in a workspace:

[ InMidstOfFileinNotification signal ] on: Notification do: [ :noti | noti resume ]

This expression should return false, but it returns nil. InMidstOfFileinNotification is an Exception included with Squeak that has a defaultAction to return false.

But when wrapped in a Notification handler, as above, it seems to not return the correct value.

Is this a bug? Any assistance would be appreciated.
