Question about comparing...

Hi

I was wondering wether it was me
but I tried

Date today = 'nil'

and I get a DNU. I thought that = should be more robust and that
we should not expect to have both objects of the same class.

yes, I would expect the same. In a 3.9a 7020 image this works
correctly. Which image version do you have?

I profit from this one to remind you that

1 i = nil

still fail in a 3.9a 7020 image, and this is related to

http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2688

Complex should check for #isNumberExtension before sending
#adaptToComplex:andSend:, or otherwise trap the DNU...
