Re: [Sc-devel] PauseStream:reset

["James Harkins" <jamshark70@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I thought of a more dangerous case with this.

t = Task({
	inf.do({ |i|
		i.postln;
		0.5.wait;
	});
}).play;

t.stop;

// this plays the Routine, not the Task, so...
t.reset.play;

// ... this doesn't stop it
t.stop;

// you have to do this instead
t.originalStream.stop;

Well, of course, the "right" way to reset-and-play is t.play(doReset:
true), but if you're live coding, and your brain slips and you write
t.reset.play instead, that's not a good time to have to figure out how
the internals of PauseStream / Task work.

If it's OK to put this in for RC5 (!), I think it would avoid a source
of confusion. I just can't imagine a good reason why .reset would
return anything other than the receiver, anyway.

Comments? Yes? No?
