I missed that conversation. This is awesome, I love it; gimme the bits:)<div><br></div><div>+1<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 1:53 PM, Chris Muller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cmm@4dst.com">cmm@4dst.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I would like to integrate this elegant extension to the<br>
object-concatenation API. Just as Exceptions may be easily<br>
concatenated with the #, (comma) selector, now any object may, as<br>
well:<br>
<br>
object1, object2 --> "{ object1. object2 }"<br>
<br>
and, equally, with other collections:<br>
<br>
{ object1. object2 }, object3 --> "{ object1. object2. object3 }"<br>
<br>
I find this particularly useful for user-interfaces that apply<br>
Smalltalk interpretation to user text input, that the user was able to<br>
write "lists" of items in a very terse and natural way rather than<br>
demanding curly-brace developer-syntax.<br>
<br>
I do not wish to reopen philosophical discussions; this is right<br>
in-line with the spirit of Squeak's other concatenation conveniences.<br>
There were no major objections when I proposed this a couple of months<br>
ago, and if that is still true, I would therefore like to go ahead and<br>
merge these 5 new methods into the trunk later this week.<br>
