Re: Using code from Cocotron

[Fred Kiefer]

Triggered by this mail, I set down and wrote some code for NSPredicate
and NSExpression to make these classes (and their subclasses) at least
usable. They are still far away from being complete, but it would be
nice if somebody actually tested them. The best thing to do now is write
some test code, exercising these classes and integrate that into our
test framework.
I promise to have a look at the bugs found in that process.

Cheers,
Fred
