[vwnc] Sender of the empty symbol yields references to empty string

Just out of curiosity, when I search in my image for references to the empty symbol ( #'' ), I also see things like

AbstractChangeList>>blankText

     self setValue: '' asText.
    self changed: #value.
    ^'' asText

in my result set. However, this method only contains empty strings, no empty symbols. This also seems to work for short strings like 'a', but does not work for longer strings like 'Help System version 2.0'.
When inspecting  "AbstractChangeList compiledMethodAt: #blankText" the method doesn't seem to contain empty symbol literals.

Is this normal behavior?

Thanks,

Wouter Gazendam

I'm not sure, but in our images as Soops we *make* it normal behavior.

This is because we need 'senders of' to be as reliable as possible, but
in window specs aspect paths sometimes get encoded in a string - so we
hacked senders of to search inside strings too.
