Question: I've always wondered what this "isSelfEvaluating" stuff is good for. There are thirteen implementors and a single user in Array>>printOn:. Is there any *need* for Array>>printOn: to print a "self evaluating" expression? Why not just Array(element1, element2, ....) just like any other collection?<br>

We'd remove some 20 methods with no downside that I am aware of.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Shouldn't the test be isLiteral instead of isSelfEvaluating? c.f. storeOn: storeOnStream:.</div><div><br></div>
