Hi all,
I have noticed this recurring theme in many system methods:
process ifNotNil: [process terminate]
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me as an ugly non-OO pattern which could be elegantly replaced with a simple:
process terminate
if we implemented:
UndefinedObject >> #terminate
"return nil"
Is this right or am I missing something?
Thanks,
~~~
