[Cuis-dev] Poll: ? instead of is: ?

[Donald Johnson]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you could just add the selectors so the
parentheses aren't needed, no?  I did that in my instance and it works
like a charm, like:

    is: aSymbol ifFalse: aBlock ifTrue: aBlock2

    is: aSymbol ifTrue: aBlock ifFalse: aBlock2

    is: aSymbol ifTrue: aBlock

    is: aSymbol ifFalse: aBlock
