Stef,

I suspect that Object Arts would favor #printOn:delimiter:.  They would
also probably have a #displayOn:delimeter: method.  Their approach is
that one 'displays' for users and 'prints' for developers; they
generally don't much like #as* methods, with the exception of true
conversion methods (such as #asOrderedCollection, etc.).  #displayOn: is
used my morphic, which will cause me some hassles some time soon.

FWIW.

Hi all

I would like to have your point of view on the following:
on the class collection there are two methods

asStringOn: aStream delimiter: delimString
asStringOn: aStream delimiter: delimString last: lastDelimString


printOn: aStream delimiter: delimString
printOn: aStream delimiter: delimString last: lastDelimString

which are nearly doing the same.
I suggest to remove the printOn: version

since it prints:
         '1'', ''2'' & ''3'.
while asString
        '1, 2 & 3'

I do not see any use of the printOn version and there is no sender  
(except tests that I will remove :).


Stef
