Hi, tm,
This is one of those points where the OCL and UML specifications don't
agree on the definition of operation bodies.
The OCL specification of an operation body condition constraint is:
context core::A::foo() : String
self.name
In UML, all constraints are required to be boolean-valued, which is why
UML requires the "result = " part that makes it look like a
post-condition constraint.
HTH,
Christian
