[Help-smalltalk] WeakSet>>#includes: and Deprecation

[Stephen Compall]

I was looking at all the #doWithIndex:-like methods and decided a
deprecation tag might be good, at least for my own code.  I'm not even
sure I'm going to use it in my own code, but it gave me a chance to
break WeakSet, so

address@hidden/smalltalk--backstage--2.2--patch-30
    support #includes: on WeakSets

against upstream patch-393, attached as weakset-includes.diff.

Based on a search for findIndex in HashedCollection, I don't think any
other methods are affected.

Also attached is Deprecation.st.  Its Commentary section explains its
use.  The biggest benefit is being able to write "self deprecate: 'I am
poorly written'" and such in your code. :)

I'm happy to change the license if you want to include it in gst.
