Was this convention carried over by Steve Byrne, or someone else, from
the Blue Book?
I took it from the Black Book, "IBM Smalltalk: The Language" by David N.
Smith. I would not be surprised if it dated back to the blue book.
I think "answer" captures the message-sending (as opposed to
method-calling) spirit of Smalltalk very well. That's another reason
why it might very well be as ancient as the Blue Book or even earlier
Smalltalks. (There's a Smalltalk-76 article somewhere on the net, a
quick check could be interesting).
