I cannot merge it because that would bring back long removed methods, and
MC wouldn't allow me to reject those.
But I can add the changes manually.
If I'm not mistaken, it's just a single method JsonObject >> #respondsTo:.
What is the purpose of that method?
I'm asking because it has got no comment, so I'm not sure its
implementation is correct.
For example, should
JsonObject new respondsTo: #foo:
return false?
What should the following return?
JsonObject new
foo: 1;
respondsTo: #foo:
Another question is whether it is generally useful or not?
If it's not, you can still have the desired behavior by creating a
subclass. E.g.:
JsonObject subclass: #PseudoObject
instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'PseudoObject'
PseudoObject >> respondsTo: aSymbol
^ (super respondsTo: aSymbol)
or: [self includesKey: aSymbol]
(Json new
dictionaryClass: PseudoObject;
readFrom: '{"foo": 42}' readStream)
respondsTo: #foo
"==> true"
