Stef,

Hurt you in what type of work?  I am far more concerned about silent
truncation failing to raise an (in-context) alarm than I am about having
to test my code to ensure that it works in all relevant cases.  In my
view, there are ways (#nextOrNil, #nextAvailable:) to allow truncation,
it is simply never done w/o consent from the programmer.  Would that
have worked for you?

Regards,

Bill
