I second this:
- his proposal goes into direction of ANSI compatibility, and
- I'm actually faced with this problem.

I've implemented #storeString for some object and it fails to create correct
objects from these
stored strings, if they contain Arrays with nil entries.

But in contrary to SMA I assume that changes have to be made in
Scanner>>scanLitVec and not in Scanner>>xLitQuote, cause Scanner>>scanLitVec
calls itself recursively.


VisualWorks® NonCommercial, Release 5i.1, printIt:

#(eins nil drei)
-> #(#eins nil #drei) ; Squeak makes #(#eins #nil #drei) here.

#(#eins #nil #drei)
-> #(#eins #nil #drei) ; Squeak makes the same.

Greetings,

Stephan
