Hi Uko,
Groups are essential for Moose. When we have one entity, we have
polymorphism and because of that we can nicely map menu items and scripting
methods on unary messages. To have the same on groups of objects, we needed
to have polymorphism as well.
The magic related to the type inference is more interesting when you
interactively choose entities to go in a group. Then, based on the type of
the elements, the group type changes at runtime. This dynamic typing logic
is documented here:
MooseGroupTest>>testGroupType
Let me know if you have more questions.
Cheers,
Doru
p.s. When trying to understand a class in Pharo, it is always a good idea
to check the superclasses :)

Hail to the Pharo! I’ve figured it out by putting a
breakpoint in
FAMIXMethodGroup instance creations. And I have to say that there is quite
a lot of meta-magic involved :)

Hi everyone.
Probably I’ve missed something, but how does it work in a way that when
you select
“All methods” in MooseFinder you get a FAMIXMethodGroup, and not
just a MooseGroup? I’ve checked all the methods of FAMIXMethodGroup and all
references to FAMIXMethodGroup, but I can’t figure it out.
Cheers
Uko
