What is an example that causes the error?
And - are you talking about Color's class method hex:? e.g.
Color hex: 0.43
I ask in case you have a package loaded I don't, or something of that
nature. (I don't see a "hex" instance method on Color in my base 3.8
image, but I did note that the hex: class method eventually calls the
kinds of things you're talking about.)
I agree that the printStringRadix: behavior looks kind of funky. I
wonder if it's to conform to some quirk of the ANSI standard (only
because the comment mentions it), or if it expected printStringBase:
to put the "XXr" on there in other cases, or some other thing.
Thanks,
