- Note:
- The Blue Book only defines the messages canUnderstand:,
hasMethods, and includesSelector:. We
decided to provide a richer set of method query messages so that it would be
possible to hide implementation details without losing functionality.
- Porting tip:
- Smalltalk/V only supports canUnderstand: and
includesSelector:, as well as several messages designed to
query methods about instance and class variable references.
Objectworks\Smalltalk supports only the Blue Book messages
canUnderstand:, hasMethods, and
includesSelector:.
