Ron, the invariant I wrote does not care about the return value. If
Damien's change keeps that behavior (indeed I'm convinced that Damien
will
do so) then chances are that nobody really used the mistaken return
value.
The users of #back in 3.9/10 and 3.8 do discard the value, AFAICT.
If you have a look at String>>asSignedInteger and
PositionableStream>>backChunk, you have a use of the returned value of
#back.
Argh! thanks for investigating that, Damien.
I agree with you, remove #oldBack. Whoever would change his code to use
make use of #oldBack, can equally well put in the correct use.
If anyone wants to fix #asSignedInteger and #backChunk, we can remove
#oldBack.
I would't want to trouble the release team w.r.t. their dead line. Ralph's
policy dictates that bugs must have been recorded *before* the v3dot10
team started. So it's too late for fixing a bug's buggees.
