Ha! That was inspired by Object >> #copy:


Object >> copy
"Answer another instance just like the receiver. Subclasses typically override postCopy; they typically do not override shallowCopy."

^self shallowCopy postCopy


I will make this more explicit by extracting "self copy refreshContexts" to "self freshCopy". :-)


Best,

Christoph

    self copy refreshContexts signal

I know that refreshContexts in its current implementation will explicitly return self, but should we rely on this or not better use a cascade here?

    self copy refreshContexts; signal
