[net.lang.st80] Why binary message selectors

allenw@tekchips.UUCP (Brock) (01/12/84)

Binary message selectors allow one to say:

		1 + 2     or      a > b

instead of
		1 plus: 2    or     a greaterp: b


In other words they are syntactic sugar when tend to greatly enhance the
readability of Smalltalk methods.
