Maybe just create a new version and add the pointer directly into the comment of #asMutator? This will be even more helpful for people who wonder "Should I use #asMutator or #asSimpleSetter"?

I also wonder whether #asMutator deserves a #deprecate flag at least. Otherwise, we will have the situation of two ambiguous selectors without any recommendation, again.


Best,

Christoph

Hi Marcel,

Yes, I should have added a link to the discussion. I could save a
fixed System-dtl.1225 to trunk, although I am afraid it may cause
problems for the update stream for people who have already loaded
that version number with a different UUID in their trunk update.

If someone can confirm that it is safe to replace the existing
System-dtl.1225 with another one that differs only by commit comment
and UUID, then I'll copy it up to trunk. Otherwise I think I'll
play it safe and leave it alone.

Thanks,
Dave
