And I’d prefer a simple isSequenceableCollection over that. I don’t actually like any of them because there is almost always A Better Way(™) hidden in there somewhere, but at least a very specific method is easy to track down and replace when said better way is discovered. They’re all over the place in nuScratch but the performance improvements simply from removing multiple isKindOf: sends within large loops are well worth the slight stinkiness.
