Yes, I understand the paradigm, nil is nothing is zero, empty is nothing is zero... But frankly, do you think '' forms a valid Number ? In every context ? So yes, this is expected, and can break compatibility, but sometimes this is necessary.
If you want to keep this behaviour, you have to use an explicit rule like: asNumberOrZero ^Number readFrom: self ifFail: [^0] Hope this helps...
