Infinite recursion when POSTing Dictionary

I'll take a look at the issue. It might very well be because of
dictionaries. Would you mind add an issue to the bug tracker?

Thanks,

My apologies. I had changed something in the implementation of
#asJSONObject.

Now askin for the value works, but when sending the ajax-request I
also run into the infinite recursion (which crashes Firefox).

So, corrected:

js := #{#hello -> 'amber'} asJSONObject.

<js['hello']>. "amber"
<js.hello>. "amber"

"Now browser/JQuery enters in infinite recursion... request is never
sent"

jQuery
  ajax: 'http://localhost:8080/projects/ajaxTest/'  
 options: #{
     'type' -> 'POST'.
     'data' -> js.
     'error' -> [window alert: 'Commit failed!']
 }.

huh?

| dict |

dict := Dictionary new.

dict add: (20@20) -> 'Landmark'.

dict at: (20@20). "Landmark" 

dict keys first inspect. "a Point"

There was no support for non-string keys in the past either.

That may come in the future though, together with missing collection
classes like OrderedCollection and SortedCollection.
