I was showing Squeak off to a friend today, and while clicking around in a browser to show off the system's organization, I ran across this method:<div><br></div><div>BlockStartLocator>></div><div><div>pushClosureCopyNumCopiedValues: numCopied numArgs: numArgs blockSize: blockSize</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>"Answer the size of the block"</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>^blockSize</div><div><br></div><div>There's no method tag / pragma here... so why does this method need three parameters? I see six implementers of the message, though... are the extra params there to deal with polymorphism without blowing up? If so, that's kind of interesting, because I hadn't recognized that pattern before.</div>
