That's a simple error of procedure. You cannot be your own reviewer.
Someone else has to do it.

So who *has* reviewed the changes? Nobody? When was the last time that changes to *hundreds* of methods have been introduced in the image without any review whatsoever? I thought one of the goals of the 3.10 process was to improve code quality?

Whatever. I only have to glance at Dan's snippet to tell you that there will be plenty of situations where it will identify places that would be completely wrong to change. You cannot take this and automatically convert those comparisons. To give just one example, it is commonplace to use loops like this:

  obj := 0 someObject.
  [0 == obj] whileFalse:[
    "... do something ..."
    obj := obj nextObject.
  ].

In my image alone there are 17 senders of #nextObject, *all* of which exhibit this pattern. I'm certain there are other patterns like it.

Anyway, except ImageSegment, other zealous conversions should be harmless.
Questionnable, unneeded, but harmless.

I can *guarantee* that this is assumption is wrong.

Cheers,

Oh yes, very bad case! because the loop will exit on first 0.0 encountered...
Quite same as ImageSegment bug.

What I called zealous was the non-arithmetic tests changed by side effect
(like == #someSymbol or == nil...)

I did not even notice some 0== or ==0 are not arithmetic...
Thanks!
