[Pkg] The Trunk: Kernel-nice.685.mcz

[commits at source.squeak.org]

Nicolas Cellier uploaded a new version of Kernel to project The Trunk:
http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Kernel-nice.685.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-nice.685
Author: nice
Time: 4 May 2012, 10:51:32.635 am
UUID: 2febaac6-3ff5-3640-abfd-068dce4f0a2b
Ancestors: Kernel-eem.684

Rename Number class>>#readSqueakSyntaxFrom: into #readSmalltalkSyntaxFrom:

This is to provide a common API across dialects for external packages since both VW7.x and Pharo2.0 have #readSmalltalkSyntaxFrom:

Note that Number syntax may vary slightly across dialects and #readSmalltalkSyntaxFrom: is to be understood "in local dialect"...

#readSqueakSyntaxFrom: was quite recent and not used in trunk, so I removed rather than deprecate. If you don't agree, raise your voice.
