Hi,
Norbert made a good suggestion:

So now you can simplify the following relatively common case:
(NeoJSONReader on: '[ { "x" : 1, "y" : 2 }, { "x" : 3, "y" : 4 } ]' readStream)
mapInstVarsFor: Point;
for: #ArrayOfPoints customDo: [ :mapping |
mapping listOfElementSchema: Point ];
nextAs: #ArrayOfPoints.
with the simpler:
(NeoJSONReader on: '[ { "x" : 1, "y" : 2 }, { "x" : 3, "y" : 4 } ]' readStream)
mapInstVarsFor: Point;
nextListAs: Point.
