Comment(by ohshima):
Replying to [comment:2 ScottWallace]:
> Well, sure, Squeak itself has a "fraction" type. But the etoy system as
presented to the end-user does not. For example, you can't type a
fraction into the readout of a numeric-valued slot and have it interpreted
as a fraction. Given that we don't allow the user to express (or see)
numbers as fractions anywhere else in etoys, I think maybe its reasonable
to leave things as they are in TextMorph as well.
Hmm. But then the current situation, where the user can store a string
'(3/4)' into a Text is a bug in Etoys. setNumericValue: should convert it
to Float. I thought we had the feature so that Text uses decimal places
for 'numeric value' to figure out what to store, but this didn't get in
the Etoys image?
