Hi, what is the canonical way to get a class from a symbol?
a) Converting symbol into class via string protocol a.1) #Array asClass I use this the most, because it is easy, uses unary selector, and so far I've never ran into any issues. But apparently it is not good -- why? a.2) #Array asClassInEnvironment: Smalltalk globals b) Retriving the class by key from the system dictionary b.1) Smalltalk globals at: #Array b.2) Smalltalk at: #Array b.3) Smalltalk classNamed: #Array c) something else entirely? I get that using #asClass wouldn't work if there was a different environment, however I don't even know in what situation there could be a different environment, so I cannot assert how problematic it is or isn't. Thanks, Peter
