Okay :) If we decide against this, an alternative that might be good is using more descriptive names than 'Etoile' for additions to these: NSIndexPath+Etoile NSIndexSet+Etoile NSInvocation+Etoile NSString+Etoile NSURL+Etoile For example, it could be +Convenience. >> EtoileFoundation: >> ==================== >> >> ETFilter > > I'm not sure this class will survive in its current state.

I moved it to deprecated but then noticed that ETTransform is a subclass of ETFilter, so I reverted the change. >> ETException - not quite sure what this does.. will this be needed with >> ObjC2 style exceptions? > > These are ObjC exception improvements. e.g. restartable exceptions. > See David's paper: > <http://www.swan.ac.uk/compsci/research/reports/2008/CSR14-2008.pdf Interesting, I need to read that some time. >> ETHistoryManager > > I would also put ETHistoryManager with the core classes.

I could do this as well. Does this set of classes look more sensible to move to a "Utilities" (or maybe "Convenience") subproject?: ETCArray ETGetOptionsDictionary - function for processing command line args ETTranscript - transcript for Smalltalk NSFileManager+NameForTempFile NSFileManager+TempFile NSIndexPath+Etoile NSIndexSet+Etoile NSInvocation+Etoile - convenience factory method for NSInvocation NSString+Etoile - some convenience methods for NSString NSURL+Etoile - some convenience methods for NSURL -Eric _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list Etoile-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
