[Pharo-dev] naming convention for dangerous methods

[Ben Coman]

There was a previous thread [1] that involved discussion of the naming 
convention for methods doing "dangerous" in-place mutatation - e.g. 
sort/sorted,  reverse/reversed -  and even though I now know there is 
such a naming convention, its hard to keep track of which is which. 

Now today I happened to be looking for the first time at some Ruby code 
and came across their naming convention for "dangerous" methods of 
having a trailing exclamation mark - e.g. sort/sort!, reverse/reverse! - 
which is REALLY intuitive.  How extreme is it to wonder if Pharo might 
some day be able to support such a convention?
