So this is the patch I intend to apply such that message instructions report exactly the same errors as .Message and .Object:

Forgot to add tests for the message instructions so went back to the testgroup to add them and found out, that the tests for illegal overrides returned 97.1 and not what .Message and .Object raise, namely 93.957 (receiver class not a subclass of override object) and 88.914 (SCOPE must be instance of class Class).

Instead of having 97.1 (object method not found), which does not point at the reason I would like a message instructions to report an error with the override explicitly. Of course, the tests depend on whether 97.1 or 93.957 gets reported.

To do so I intend to add this:

Maybe a test whether _super is an instance of class Class should be carried out first to become able to also raise 88.914? If so, what would be the easiest way to do so?

Am I missing something else? Are there any objections?

I repeat, these are not acceptable tests. Please make the appropriate corrections to them. Turn these into actual functional tests, otherwise they have no real purpose.

    This is not an acceptable way to fix these tests. Just removing the 
expected error and
    adding a totally unnecessary tautological assertion is not enough. These 
tests need to also
    verify that the correct method has been invoked by checking the return 
value from the method
    call.

    Two remarks:

      * There were existing tests that expected an error, if the override was 
not done to a
        message to self. These tests would now fail as these overrides are 
allowed. So removing
        the expected error turns the test into the opposite, testing whether an 
override is
        accepted and carried out. If the override takes place successfully 
assertTrue(.true) is
        used to increase the success assertion counter, otherwise the test 
suite would not be
        able to increase that counter anymore.

      * Ad testing whether the overrides work correctly, i.e. invoking the 
expected methods,
        these tests are the ones that I added explicitly, such that this aspect 
gets tested as
        well for send, sendWith, start, startWith for both, the .Message and 
the .Object classes.
        If you look up these test groups you will see that the tests include 
override tests for
        mixinclasses where the results of the invoked messages get tested for 
correctness. It may
        be the case that I am missing some tests, if so, please advise.
