I'll have a go at it, but I'd like some wider discussion as its turned
up something new for me to learn...
Interestingly the text-at-issue does not appear when searching the
source with Finder.
I traced it to...
ClassOrganization>>comment
comment ifNil: [^ ''].
^ comment string ifNil: ['']
where `comment` is a RemoteString such that evaluating the following in
a Workspace...
| sourceFileNumber filePositionHi theFile|
sourceFileNumber := 2.
filePositionHi := 11619939.
theFile := (SourceFiles at: sourceFileNumber) readOnlyCopy.
^ [ filePositionHi > theFile size ifTrue: [
self error: 'RemoteString past end of file' ].
theFile position: filePositionHi.
theFile nextChunk] ensure: [ theFile close ]
returns the text-at-issue, and where `theFile` is...
MultiByteFileStream:
'C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Roaming\pharo\images\30649\30649.changes'
So to proceed my naive reaction would be to add the required text to be
returned by a class method (feedback anyone?)
but, I am really curious...
* how is it likely that this situation came about?
* is it common to be grabbing text like this from the changes file?
