RcKeyValueDictionary at:ifAbsent and at:otherwise: returns an error on a nil key

The following two methods return the error #rtErrNilKey (error 2090) when the specified key is nil.  Since these methods are intended to provide alternate handling of nil keys, this is incorrect behavior.

    #at:ifAbsent:
    #at:otherwise:

Workaround

As SystemUser file-in and commit the following code.

category: 'Accessing'
method: RcKeyValueDictionary
at: aKey ifAbsent: aBlock

"Returns the value that corresponds to aKey.  If no such key/value pair exists,
 returns the result of evaluating the zero-argument block aBlock."

| hash |
aKey == nil ifTrue: [ ^ aBlock value ].

hash := self hashFunction: aKey.
^ (self _at: hash) at: aKey ifAbsent: aBlock
%

category: 'Accessing'
method: RcKeyValueDictionary
at: aKey otherwise: aValue

"Returns the value that corresponds to aKey.  If no such key/value pair exists,
 returns the given alternate value."

| hash |
aKey == nil ifTrue: [ ^ value ].

hash := self hashFunction: aKey.
^ (self _at: hash) at: aKey otherwise: aValue
