[MacRuby-devel] NSObject.to_s question

[B. Ohr]

Jordan,

you can do something like that:

class Object
  alias :old_inspect :inspect
 
  def inspect
    i = old_inspect
    if i.start_with?('#<')
      d = description
      d.start_with?('<') ? i : d
    else
      i
    end
  end
end

But you’re right, a better integration of „description“ would be nice.
