RE: Rewrite Tool Conundrum

Arrgh!  This needs to be clarified in the docs.  In some languages, the
separator is part of the statement.  I knew that it's not in Smalltalk,
but that didn't connect.  Thanks.

But Rewrite is still not out of the woods.  Try this one:

Define a method anywhere (Object is fine)

        myTest

        | aTemp |
        aTemp := self.
        aTemp yourself.
        aTemp do: true.
        aTemp perform: #blah.
        ^aTemp


Now, this will show up if you search for:

        aTemp do: true.


It will show up if you search for:

        aTemp perform: #blah.


But if you search for:

        aTemp do: true.
        aTemp perform: #blah.


Then nothing!

Ah, but you're now trying to match statement lists, which may contain other
statements as well as temps, so the correct rule to search for would be,

| `@temps |
`@.statements1.
aTemp do: true.
aTemp perform: #blah.
`@.statements2.

Cheers!
