Unable to Reformat a method

Hello,

I am running D5.1 Standard Edition, suddenly I realized that the browser
is not able to reformat this method...

foo
^false

similar happened with other methods mainly because String MNU isSymbol
I can add those methods to those classes but I would like to know the
reason for this first. Any ideas?

Thanks

It works in D5PRO.  I have an isSymbol method up in object, and it is part
of the RBEnvironments package.  I suspect that because D5STD does not
include the refactoring browser that package has not been included.  I guess
OA needs to do some repackaging.  Blair posted a url to a page a few days
ago where one could download the refactoring browser, perhaps that would add
the missing methods.

It would, or define #isSymbol in Object to answer false, overriding it in
Symbol to answer true. I'll record this as a bug for PL2 and get the methods
moved.

Thanks Chris and Federico.
