Hi Levente,
I must admit, after reflection, that I LIKE that SHA256 new may return a different class. Essentially, the #new method of SHA256, in this scenario, will be the factory method, instad of HshFunction newSHA256. This factory method may return a pluginized SHA256 concrete subclass or itself as default. The reason I like this is that we would reference the "abstract" class specific to the hash algorithm as SHA256, exactly the same lexeme.
In our current case, the SHA256 is also a concrete class, the default when no plugins around. If this duality of SHA256 being both abstract and concrete, is an issue, we could copy SHA256 to SHA256InImage and then have a proper strict abstract class. This is my feeling that opposite of creating confusion it specifies the Lexeme of this hashFunction and so clarifies.
Newbie: "How do I use SHA256?"
Wise Council: "Code it as SHA256 new. Then send hashStream: to it.".
Jester: "Watch out it is tricky picky. It may return an instance of a DIFFERENT concrete class....correctly so.

What do you think?
I think #new should return an instance of the receiver. That's what everyone expects when #new is sent to a class, isn't it? And if #new raised an error, what would #newSHA256 send to create an instance? #basicNew + #initialize? I don't like that.

If not, how did you do it? Use HashFunction's class side #new* methods to create the instances. HashFunction is a facade and a factory at the same time.

Yes, that is one use-case, but another is when you want an actual SHA256, regardless whether the plugins are loaded, or not. For its test cases, for example. So, were #new to become the factory method, it would spoil the API for THAT use-case.

Good point, Chris. However if we copy SHA256 to SHA256InImage, then #new sent to a concrete subclass would work in your use case, and we would have SHA256 new as the factory method. Each concrete subclass would code #new as ^ self basicNew initialize; yourself. Or we could define a #newConcrete method and refer to that in subclass #new. Heck I believe that SHA256>>#new could check the receiver class and do the appropriate instantiation.
