I made an error in the review above:
Directory~setMethod and Directory~unsetMethod are not documented as protected
in rexxref.
rexxref documents object~setMethod and object~unsetMethod as protected.
But they are not ('P' in col 7 is missing):
ooRexx[sh]> ?m setMethod
P. P.GP. 'SETMETHOD' : 'Directory' (REXX)
P. ..G.. 'SETMETHOD' : 'Object' (REXX)
P. .CG.. 'SETMETHOD' : 'Object' (REXX)
ooRexx[sh]> ?m unsetMethod
P. ..G.. 'UNSETMETHOD' : 'Object' (REXX)
P. P.GP. 'UNSETMETHOD' : 'Directory' (REXX)
P. .CG.. 'UNSETMETHOD' : 'Object' (REXX)
Confirmation in Setup.cpp
AddPrivateMethod("SetMethod", RexxObject::setMethod, 3);
AddPrivateMethod("UnsetMethod", RexxObject::unsetMethod, 1);
AddProtectedMethod("SetMethod", DirectoryClass::setMethodRexx, 2);
AddProtectedMethod("UnsetMethod", DirectoryClass::unsetMethodRexx, 1);
