Well, Tokenish isn't a class, it's a class variable containing a list of all the characters considered 'tokenish' (see Character>>#tokenish).

You really shouldn't find yourself using constructions like

> String classPool at: #CaseSensitiveOrder

.. to do so implies some pretty serious misunderstanding somewhere along the line.

If you want to find a substring you really ought to use String>>#findString:startingAt:caseSensitive: if you need to control the case sensitivity, or just String>>#findString:startingAt: if the default of true is ok.

Assuming your problem is a bit more general in that you need to split two-word phrases that have been agglomerated, we might try

|input firstOne|
input := 'complexgrammar'.
firstOne := 'complex'.

^String streamContents:
    [:strm|
    strm nextPutAll: firstOne capitalized.
    strm space.
    strm nextPutAll: (input allButFirst: firstOne size) capitalized]

Note that this doesn't do any checking of the existence of anything after the firstOne string, or even that firstOne exists within input.
