Hi.
or not "aBitStream next: 40 bits" meant ((aBitStream next: 40) bits).
First, it already says aBitStream, so the second pseudo-selector-noop-bits is just stuttering reminicent of programming in java. I.E.
BitStream bitStream = BitStream.newBits(...)
Unfortunately, bitStreams also know how to read themselves by bytes and by bitChunks... the problem I get is that I have the pair #next and #next: for bits, #nextByte and #nextBytes: for bytes, and #nextChunk: amountOfBitsInTheResultingChunk for bitChunks. The issue with the units is that it wouldn't be desirable in such low level stuff.
Andres.
