Hi all,
Actually, my description was so short because I don't fully know what it does either.
When indeed the inventor of the Law of Demeter came to Bern to have a talk about the traversals he is so fond of, Adrian implemented a prototype of these traversals as an addition to Fame, to learn about it himself beforehand.
How it exactly works, I'm not sure, I haven't had a look at it myself yet either. But since it was implemented in VW, and filed out, it's in Squeak now too. But it doesn't work, and since I don't know the code nor exactly what it does, I haven't really had a look at it yet. Which is also why the traversals were between parentheses :)
I'm sorry for the confusion. It didn't seem that important to me either since it doesn't have any impact on the workings of the rest of fame.
cheers, Toon
ok, thanks for your answer. I'm picky sometimes :) so demeter traversal is the idea that you give a navigation string to an interpreter that will then navigate trhought your component. The idea is that like that you do not link together your component hence do not violate the lod. But I found it always something that I do not want to rely for obvious reason.
