FAMIXAssociations being SourcedEntities have a 'sourceAnchor' instance variable.
However it redefines the method sourceAnchor :
^ self from sourceAnchor
I am sure there was some good reason to do this, but to me this is counter intuitive and
something should probably be corrected.
(in practice I spent from 11pm to 1am yesterday looking for a bug that did not exist :-( )

Hi,
Indeed, this is because importers did not provide source anchors for
associations. So, we just picked the best approximation for practical
reasons.
The reason for not exporting source anchors for associations is scalability:
associations account for some 70% of the amount of objects in the model.
Adding a source anchor for each of them increases significantly the size.
Cheers,
Doru
