In the case of changing 'ReadStream on: smth' to 'smth readStream' there is really nothing to change in external libraries. This change only enhance the code without changing anything. The refactoring can also be applied in some parts of the image without changing others. The change Bill proposes is completely different and I would propose to postpone it until we have more discussions and everybody agrees. There is no point in doing both at the same time. The changes are completely independent. -- Damien Cassou Peter von der Ahé: «I'm beginning to see why Gilad wished us good luck».
