Summary

0007640: A mother for storeString bugs

Description

For many objects storeString behaves badly.

This is a parent for other storeString bug reports.

Additional Information

These storeString bugs have been in squeak for a long time. The implementation seems to just store out the ivars as an array which limits and constrains the interpretation because any reshaping of a class can destroy the relation of the ivar index to its meaning.

The user story I am wanting to fulfill is I should be able to send an object a message that has it print out how to create a quasi-copy of it that can then be evaluated.

I don't know if storeString is meant to fulfill that story or another one. But the way it currently opperates it is not safe to send to a general object.
