[Cuis-dev] What is the meaning of "::" in code examples ?

[Jon Hylands]

According to this page:

https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/Summary-of-Syntax.html

Double-colon sends the message to the result of the previous expression. I
would guess that would make it functionally equivalent to putting the
previous expression in parens.

So:

lay1 beRow :: borderWidth: 1 :: borderColor: (Color black) .

would be the same as:

((lay1 beRow) borderWidth: 1) borderColor: (Color black) .

Unless I'm missing something...
