Re: Adopt a Class

I just want to point out that adopting *a* class is often somewhat impractical -- it ends up quickly spilling over into other classes. For example, I've just come to Object>printString which gets into String and WriteStream and Stream, etc. I assume it's ok to let our adoption work meander whereever it leads...

Re: Adopt a Class

+1 to what Sean said.

I'm also right here to handle issues raised in GIT (which I should add to adoptions post)
and to handle primitives should they be required and people dont want to do them
themselves.
