It was, the same version of asBit you find in Squeak was present in Pharo 1.4 and earlier. Though, uncategorized, and without the subclassResponsibility implementation on Boolean. 2.0 development was hectic, hard to tell if it was cleaned away and then re-added/invented ( I think it may have, I seem to remember it being an extension in NB for awhile) The source compaction that happened at 2.0 release removed any lingering traces of the old version, either way attributing Anthony Hannan as well wouldn't be entirely out of place. Either way, a beautiful bit of code! Cheers, Henry
