New issue 726 by [hidden email]: FM3PropertyDescription>>getRawFrom:  
should return false in Boolean properties instead of nil
http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=726

It avoids to use the binary message into the Finder with meta-annotated  
Boolean properties when using Metanool.

For example, instead of:
each annotations hugeClasses = true
We have:
each annotations hugeClasses

What do you think?


Code to fix it is below.

FM3PropertyDescription>>getRawFrom: element
        ^ element privateState
                attributeAt: self name
                ifAbsent: [
                        (self type = FM3 boolean)
                                ifTrue: [false]
                                ifFalse: [nil] ]

getRawFrom: is basic and must remain like this because it is used in many  
contexts. The metanool-related problem should probably be solved in  
metanool when installing the property.
