3.3

When there is no explicit selection for an evaluation, we use the current word/identifier containing the caret for an evaluation expression. We should resolve a more relevant expression. For example, if the selected element is a field name, then the expression should be the field. If the selected element is a method, then the expression should include receiver and method arguments.

Consider post 3.3

Comment 3 Davor Cubranic CLA 2007-08-31 17:11:58 EDT 
What if there are multiple elements in the expression, something like "1+1" with cursor at the end?

How about working on the entire line when the cursor is at the end? I think that's how DoIt works in Squeak, for example.
