Not at the moment. The way it is supported now is by finding a concrete implementor and then diving in that one to find its senders. > And we read this blog post: > http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-gtspotter/ > > Why Spotter does not offer > > #n foo senders of > #m foo implementors of > #N Point refs for class > #pr > #pa > it sounds simpler that way and coherent with the way we use senders and > implementors. This is a different take on what Spotter is. In this case, you want to use # more like a search predicate, but Spotter is made to work with objects which implies that the mechanism should be generic. That is why we thought of # as being a search through the active names of categories. This is generic and it works reasonably well for any object. We envisaged introducing other operators, too. For example, in your case we could have & for denoting a shortcut for the name of the category. The problem there is that you want to limit these operators because you might want to use the symbol (like # or &) for an actual query. That is why we only introduced the searching through categories. But, let’s play a bit and maybe we find a better solution. What do you think? > Now I do not really care about commiting code from within Spotter. Do you refer about the Monticello extensions? Sometimes I use that because it is faster than clicking and opening Monticello, but those are more examples.
