Andreas,
Way back in 2002 (2.7 days) I implemented Rivests
et.al's Compatibility model for Squeak.
See
http://squeak.cs.uiuc.edu/mail/squeak/msg00728.html
for how to do it.
NB. Read Rivest's paper on explicit metaclasses:
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/400
Alas the site hosting the changes is no more, but the
mail above lays it all out.
The implementation is quite simple - the hard parts is
getting to grips with the circularity.
Changing the file/in file out and browser would be the
other (tedious) task.
IMO explicit metaclasses are good stuff.
Cheers
Brent
