Hello,
Sending the message flat to an Array that contains strings, results in the Strings being decomposed to their characters. For example:
["hello", [1, 2, "there"]].flat;
returns:
[ h, e, l, l, o, 1, 2, t, h, e, r, e ]
In my view, this is not the intended behavior, because a String is usually treate as a single object, not an array. I would expect the above to return this instead:
[ "hello", 1, 2, "there" ]
The fix for this is to add the following method to String:
prFlat { | list |
^list add: this
}
I committed a pull request for this. Hopefully my thought is correct, but if not, please explain the current behavior of flat in the case of arrays containing Strings.
Best,
Iannis Zannos
