__optUncall/0 is a Miranda message which may return a portrayal of the object receiving it.
__optUncall/0
- Signature: __optUncall() :Portrayal
The miranda method for this message always returns null.
For Selfless objects, __optUncall is guaranteed to return a portrayal which exactly represents the object; if a is selfless, then a == E.call(E, "call", a.__optUncall()).
__optUncall is typically used by serialization systems for the default portrayal in the absence of other knowledge about the object.
