can we rename this selector?
asMethodConst should be at least be renamed to asConstantMethod
When you use "as {something}" then "something" depicts the result of the
conversion message sent to an object.
Like in #asNumber or #asString which shows to what the receiver will be
converted.
Yes I thought that it was doing that.
My understanding is that in the case discussed the receiver object is
NOT converted to a constant unchangeable method, so #asConstantMethod
would
not fit as a selector.
Instead it is sent to an object that afterwards is a constant within a
method
(so it will not be evaluated later at runtime again) so IMHO
#asMethodConstant
instead of #asMethodConst would be better.
I do not understand any of them.
Finding good names is really hardest part in programming...
Thanks
