Hi all,
I am preparing slides for a course. I came to the typical:
Number subclass: #Complex
instanceVariableNames: 'real imaginary'
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'ComplexNumbers'
Which made me think: Who uses poolDictionaries? I suspect extremely few of us.
Why not add this to Class:
Class>>subclass: aSymbol instanceVariableNames: instVarNames
classVariableNames: classVarNames category: aSymbol
^self subclass: aSymbol
instanceVariableNames: instVarNames
classVariableNames: classVarNames
poolDictionaries: ''
category: aSymbol
And have the new class template as follows?
Object subclass: #NameOfSubclass
instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
category: 'Kernel-Classes'
It would be a bit cleaner. I know us old timers don't even see the
poolDictionaries: line anymore, but I dislike having to explain it to students.
