New issue 595 by [hidden email]: [Glamour] Transmission>>from: is  
said to take a port
http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=595

The method GLMTransmission>>from: takes a parameter 'aPort'. However, this  
method is most of the time used with a pane symbol instead of a port. This  
is confusing as the Moose book says

"
   For specifying a transmission origin that points to a #selection port
   of a pane, you simply use from:.
"

In this case it is clear that the port is #selection and it is the default.  
The reader is then waiting for an implementation similar to:

GLMTransmission>>from: aPaneSymbol
   ^ self from: aPaneSymbol port: #selection

The problem is that beforehand we only had from: which could receive either  
a symbol for the pane, or an association for the port. This was bad, and  
now Glamour offers from:port:, but there are still legacy cases of from:  
being called with an association.

The Moose Book does not talk about this, because we want to go away from  
it. But, at the moment, it won't get fixed.

For the moment, the solution is to add a comment explaining the situation.
