OK, Bert is having a little fun. Certainly good to learn that self is the
default value.
But I wouldn't think of this as idiomatic smalltalk style.
I would prefer to follow "Interesting Return Value" [Beck]. I also factored
out the return, since that is the same in both branches.
larger: anInteger
^ self > anInteger
ifTrue: [self]
ifFalse: [anInteger]
