"The return value must not be nil, and must never change. The implementation should be fast, as this key may be used extensively by MooseGroup or similar facilities. Do not override this method. Instead, use mooseNameOn: to customize the result."

Hi guys MooseElement>>mooseName "Returns an unique identifier of this entity. This method is mandatory, and must return a Symbol or Integer that uniquely identifies this entity within its model (but not within the entire Moose enivronment, see MooseElement>>mooseID). The return value must not be nil, and must never change. The implementation should be fast, as this key may be used extensivley by the MooseModel or similar facilities." ^self mooseID asString "asSymbol -- check if this really works with Integers as well, else change sender!" was like that and now MooseEntity>>mooseName mooseName | stream | ^ self privateState propertyAt: #mooseName ifAbsentPut: [ stream := (String new: 64) writeStream. self mooseNameOn: stream. ^ stream contents asSymbol ] so why the comment got lost?
