[Moose-dev] Smalltalk Syntax (was: Re: Re: First pass for generic DSM)

...

dSMMatrix := DSMMatrix withNodes: #(#1 #2 #3) edges: #(#(#1 #2) #(#2 #1) #(#3 #1)).

Just as a side remark, but I already stumbled several times over code like the above in Mondrian and Glamour:

#1 " is not valid Smalltalk "

It does not parse with any parser other then the default one in Pharo/Squeak. Up until a few minutes ago it broke the refactoring engine badly. Pharo strangely compiles the above expression to the number 1. So why not just put the number, which also saves you one character?

1 " is a valid number "

To get a symbol with 1 you need to put the number in quotes:

#'1' " is a valid symbol "
