I made a L-system parser and had it read characters one by one from 
a text (TextMorph) using the getFirstCharacter tile, and assigning them
to a variable:
myMorph's text: text getFirstCharacter.
This works fine but when I use the variable in a test it will fail
because it has 
actually gotten a character and not a string.
myMorph's text = 'G' -> false
myMorph's text = $G  -> true.

I would think this is a bug in TextMorph>>getFirstCharacter which should read:

TextMorph>>getFirstCharacter
	"obtain the first character from the receiver if it is empty, return a  
	black dot"
	| aString |
	^ (aString _ text string) isEmpty
		ifTrue: ['•']
		ifFalse: [aString first asString]
                                   ^^^^^^^^
