Before, any unquoted string was interpreted as a Symbol, so #(nil true false) collect: [:t| t class] answered Array with: Symbol with: Symbol with: Symbol. The change was to interpret exactly these three unquoted strings as referring to the objects nil, true, and false. So now #(nil true false) collect: [:t| t class] answers {UndefinedObject. True. False}.<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>I have loads of code (from ST80) that creates arrays of intervals like,</div><div><br></div><div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> #((80 to: 90) (60 to: 70))</div></div><div><br></div><div>where what I want is,</div><div><br></div><div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>(Array with: (80 to: 90) with: (60 to: 70))</div><div><br></div><div>but Squeak reads this as,</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>ampl: #(#(80 #to: 90) #(60 #to: 70))</div><div><br></div><div>Am I missing something?</div><div><br></div><div>stp</div><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";
