Hi,
considering these 3 operations on the Set 'totargets' :
totargets.debug('relFromS');
totargets->collect(e|e.target).debug('AOut');
totargets->collect(e|e.target)->collect(e|e.relationShipSources).debug('relToR');
the two first operations print well a sequence for each, but the third
prints a sequence of a sequence 'Sequence {Sequence {IN!<unnamed>,
IN!<unnamed>, IN!<unnamed>}}'. Why this behaviour ?
I must use the operation flatten() to finally get my sequence !
Thanks
Guillaume
