I'm not sure if I am correct, but more than stepping over/through messages,
I normally think about it as how blocks are handled.
Over is step over a block.
Through is step through a block.
Try debugging this, purely with Over and then purely with Through...
self inform: '1'.
#(2 3 4) do: [:n| self inform: n printString ].
self inform: '5'.
However its not completely about blocks, since Over versus Through
has little difference on debugging this...
self inform: '1'.
2 to: 4 do: [:n| self inform: n printString ].
self inform: '5'.
So it seems it affects a certain subset of messages,
which is at least the usual enumeration messages...
#do: #collect: #select: #detect:
but I don't know what the comprehensive list is.
So maybe that it another way to define the difference
Over steps over enumeration of a block
Through step through enumeration of a block
or...
Over steps of iteration of a block
Through step through iteration of a block
I'm not sure which is more correct.
