Okay, I'm mostly through the refactoring. It is sooo much cleaner out of
object. Many deprecated methods!! Here are a few points and questions...
* Under protest :) I'm keeping the Object API, which forwards to Halt.
* I was slightly liberated to find that halt behavior is not part of the
ANSI standard
* Halt onCount: - this is a weird one
- It's currently global. Should it be per call, possibly with a
(resumable?) error if called elsewhere? In other words, if I put in a Halt
countOn: 3, and there is another #countOn: in the image that gets called and
decrements the global count, it seems that this will give me confusing and
hard to track down results. I guess maybe we can't pinpoint it to the exact
call, but at least to the calling context.
- The name is misleading. I thought of a few (Halt onPassNumber: 3, Halt
onIterationNumber: 3, Halt onCallNumber: 3). Any suggestions while we're
breaking compatibility, lol?
- is there a lint check that says haltOnCount: and maybe haltOnce?
- per object/method/process/exact call?
* Is anybody using Object>>toggleHaltOnce? I'm toying with removing it as
there are no senders in the image, and there are accessors and a testing
method
