Funny, one of the first extension methods I added when I learned
Smalltalk, was join as well, I'm still amazed it isn't already there. I
got tired of typing out the stream version, and in all but one case, I
was also joining on either ' ' or ', '.
Collection>>join: aString
^String streamContents: [:stream |
self do: [:each | stream nextPutAll: each]
separatedBy: [stream nextPutAll: aString]]
Avi, is there a reason you chose SequencableColleciton over just
Collection, I'm curious if I've put mine in the wrong place, and the
implications of doing so?
