Eh, just a question on the rim of the subject - what is the status of Correspondents in regard to
inclusion in official Squeak?

I have just looked briefly on this framework but it sounds very interesting and I might also be
interested to base a project on it. But a few questions arise:

1. As it seems you have implemented a new Streaming framework which is simply "better" than the
existing stuff - has SC said anything about incorporating it in Squeak?

2. The exceptionstuff, if I am not mistaken, got rejected in favour of a framework from 4th Estate
(correct?) - is this a problem? Do you regard your framework to be "better" in some respects and
if so, could that stuff be merged into the 4th Estate framework? Can Correspondents easily be
adapted to the official exception framework?

3. Is there, in your own opinion, any arguments for NOT including Correspondents in official
Squeak?

These questions may be infested with factual mistakes - if so, correct me. :-)

regards, G–ran
