[sc-dev] Weird bug with Dictionary-atFail

[James Harkins <jamshark70@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dictionary-atFail is broken. It works when called by itself, but the reference in Object-dependants causes very weird behavior.

Point(0, 0).dependants

You would expect this to output nil, but instead it posts a blank line.

Point(0, 0).dependants.inspect

Also outputs a blank line -- the object inspector does not open.

(
Point(0, 0).dependants.do({ "loop".postln });
"done".postln;
)

You would expect this to post "done" -- but it doesn't.

The bug is fixed by changing Object-dependants, removing the call to atFail:

	dependants {
^dependantsDictionary.at(this) ?? { ^IdentitySet.new };
}

I'm not committing this right off because the root problem is with atFail, and jmc will have to look at that.
