Just as a side note, today i think that 15 args is too much. I would even put less, say 5. To my thinking, methods which taking more than 5 arguments need to be refactored to /dev/null, and developers who think that it is good idea to make so much arguments be sent to correction facility :) > > See http://code.google.com/p/smallapack/wiki/SmallapackPortingOnSqueak > http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=2918 > http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository/ConfigurationOfSmallapack-nice.11.zip > http://www.squeaksource.com/Smallapack.html > http://www.squeaksource.com/Smallapack/Smallapack-Compiler.trunk-nice.6.mcz > > Nicolas > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
