Re: Understanding the benefits of instance side descriptions.

Hi Nick, Not sure if I understand you question, let me know if I answer something you didn't want to know :-) Some Magritte users are unnecessarily rigid, because the descriptions are only created once and in a meaningless context (on the class side). This caused some ugly hacks like #magritteDynamicObject or overrides of #description that should no longer be necessary. Of course that means we need to drop the global caching, because Magritte cannot easily decide anymore if a description changes or not. I don't think this will be a big performance problem, because descriptions are essentially just data holders for a bunch of literals. What we could want to cache instead are the selectors that build the descriptions for a particular class, so that we do not repeatedly need to walk over the methods of the class hierarchies. And the flushing would happen as before. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli www.lukas-renggli.ch
