[Cuis-dev] WorldMenu

[Hilaire Fernandes]

My sentence was hard to understand, it should read:

    Another interest of the builder is to have just one pragma
    (<worldMenu>) or method name (#worldMenuSpec: aBuilder) for the
    whole menu hierarchy *(including menu and submenus definition)*, and
    a different *symbol *name for each menu and submenus.

Thinking about this, you can't define all the menus with several methods 
sharing the same name (here in the example worldMenuSpec:), the methods 
will have to be spread in different classes, not practical. Now I 
understand very clearly why the author of the Pharo menu registry used 
pragma to select the methods providing the menu definition.

Oh by the way, pragma are discoverable as easily as method implementors 
can be:

Smalltalk browseAllSelect: [:m| m pragmas anySatisfy: [:p | p key = 
#primitive:]].  (Hernan courtesy)
