Yes, that's a good idea. I created this PR before I created the bug report.
Also, perhaps it's easy to make this compile with both 2.069 and 2.070?
I'm not so sure, without using some form of static if. As far as I can see it, either Throwable will have a method called message or it won't. If it have the method, there are two possible solutions:
- Add an alias, as the compiler suggests. This will create an overload
- Change the signature, as I've done in this PR, to make it override the method
Both of these changes require that the message method is available in Throwable.
I guess a third option would be to change the name of the method in Tango. Hmm, renaming the method does not require any additional changes, but that would be a breaking change. Not sure how important that is though. We would also need to come up with a new name as well.
