Hi Dario,

I think Time>>#asDate is just plain wrong. In the first case, it is not a
conversion operation such as you get when you ask an object for its string
representation or the converse. But worse, I don't think a Time should have
a concept of which Date it is. Consider how silly Dollar>>#asPocket would
be.

Rather than add this construct to GLASS, I would advocate removing it from
Pharo.
