Hi
I discovered this protocol in String hierarchy. Are you familiar with it?
The method comment of #fromPacked: is:
"Convert from a longinteger to a String of length 4."
The only sender in Pharo 2.0 is MethodFinder. For WideString, it does not work.
In examples:
ByteString fromPacked: 'text' asPacked. ---> 'text'
ByteString fromPacked: 'martin' asPacked. ---> 'rtin'
WideString fromPacked: ('text' asWideString asPacked). ---> error
WideString>>asPacked can be easily fixed adding an explicit return to
the calculation (it's now implicitly returning self).
But... it only encodes one letter:
WideString fromPacked: 'martin' asWideString asPacked ---> 'n'
I checked that in Squeak 4.3 there are not senders too.
So... Should we fix the WideString implementation, or directly remove
this protocol?
