I added Split-Join as a package in the development universe.<br><br>This is a small set of functionality, much discussed on the list, which<br>has not yet gained the notoriety required to make it into 3.10. Making<br>this an item that can be named as a dependant, should other packages
<br>make use of it this has the benefit of recording its usefulness. It also<br>means that I/you can write packages so that we can be sure it is loaded<br>when needed.</blockquote></span><div><br><br>Cool. This is the double dispatch way that lets you do things like: #(252 211 203) joinWith: #(255 254) => #(252 255 254 211 255 254 203)
<br>right?<br><br></div><span class="q"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I proposed enabling Universes to run arbitrary, or Installer based
<br>scripts, but this is considered somewhat cavalier. So undaunted, and no<br>less barbaric I have used a PackageInfo-#preamble to load this script!<br>This has the disadvantage of being hard to maintain and it is working
<br>invisible magic behind the scenes , whereas the script option would have<br>been visible and manageable.</blockquote></span><div><br><br>Why? Why is a script needed to add the methods from your class?<br><br></div><span class="q">

In spite of this I think that Monticello1.5 is nearly ready to be used<br>in 3.10. I tried using the old one for a few hours and got very<br>frustrated with loosing class extensions.<br><br>enjoy<br><br>Keith</blockquote>
