Does anybody use < to compare lookup keys?
Hi Nicolas,
Probably everybody.
<list of associations> asSortedArray
for example.
The problem is at the String >>#< level
both #a < 1 and #a < #1 cause errors.
The argument needs to be treated more polymorphicly (adapt to string and send type stuff ) and this ought be a mantis item.
Cheers.
Hth,
Yours in curiosity and service, -Jerome Peace

LookupKey as a descendant of Magnitude does implement
<, suggesting the
set of LookupKeys can be fully ordered. (that's the logic behind Margnitude >=, <=, and >).
Though, you cannot compare arbitrary keys. (1->nil) < (#a->nil). "false" (#a->nil) < (1->nil). "MNU isBytes" (Object new->nil) < (Object new ->nil). "MNU <"
So, is there any application of LookupKey < ?
