Re: [Help-smalltalk] iliad and blocks

[Paolo Bonzini]

Off list Nicolas suggested using #build: which is just a wrapper method 
calling #value:.  With it, Joachim's #contents message would look like

> contents [
>         ^[ :e |
>             e 
>                 build: self headerContent;
>                 add: menu build;
>                 break;
>                 build: self mainContent;
>                 build: self footerContents.
>         ]

My reply is...

Even better for me would be:

Element >> build: aBuildable
        <category: 'building'>
        aBuildable buildOn: self

BlockClosure >> buildOn: anElement
        <category: 'building (Iliad)'>
        self value: anElement

Widget >> buildOn: anElement
        <category: 'building'>
        e add: self build

and then keeping the block structure for #contents, like

    contents [
        ^[ :e |
            e
                build: self headerContent;
                build: menu;
                break;
                build: self mainContent;
                build: self footerContents.
        ]
    ]
