True.

False.  When I write
    (aCollection size + 1) * 2
there isn't the slightest point in wrapping an exception handler
around it, even though #+ is not defined in Object.

In fact, I've just sent a message in this thread which shows that
we don't need #isWebBrowser _at all_.

But, but, but, that's what people already DO.
The #isFoo calls are there for the cases where what people *expect*
includes objects that do support a particular protocol AND ALSO
objects that don't.  When you are only expecting objects that do
support the protocol, OF COURSE you don't call #isFoo.


Here I stopped reading.  Here I end my contributions to this thread.
