<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I started learning Squeak I wondered why so much code duplication around unwinding: Context>>#restart, #resume:through:, #resumeEvaluating:, #terminate and #unwindTo: all implementing the exact same algorithm. Kernel-jar.1499 suggests
removing all this duplicity while keeping the current unwind semantics. All Process and Exceptions tests are green.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This changeset is the first step in my effort to reduce the "noise" around the "collection" of resume/return methods in Context and Exception. One idea is to return calling the unwind mechanism back to the Exception class, as originally
implemented in Squeak 2.x up to 3.5; please let me know if you find something fundamentally wrong with this idea.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Example: I find this call sequence begging for simplification:
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exception>>resume: --> resumeUnchecked: --> resumeEvaluating: --> Context>>returnEvaluating: --> resumeEvaluating:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,</p>
