Hi,

Does any one know wht this does not work ?

Evaluate in a worskpace

{ 5 factorial. 4 factorial. 3 factorial }  ===> (120 24 6 )

but

{ 5 factorial. 4 factorial. 3 factorial.} gives the error: "Variable or
expression expected -> }

The only difference is the last fullstop (period ?) before the terminating }

Now evaluating just a single lonely fullstop in a workspace compiles and
executes with a result of nil.

Further, evaluating 

[ 5 factorial ] value   ====> 120
as does
[ 5 factorial. ] value   ====> 120   (ie. with the fullstop)

Moreover::

[] value  ====> nil

as does

[.] value ====> nil

This would suggest to me that:

1. Smalltalk expression . (just a fullstop) is valid as return nil.
2. {.} should give =====> (nil)  ( same as #(nil) )
3. We should be allowed to end a {} expression with a fullstop.

If this is a bug, can I have a go at fixing it ? I would really make my life
easier and my code more elegant and terse.

If is is indeed part of the Masterplan, why is is so ?

Thanks
Brent
