hi ruben

I hope that we will have soon the simple typer of roel so we could get 
already some
nice type information for instance variables.

strange because each time you send a message to an instance variable you
would like to have a smart completion too.
For local variables I guess that a good heuristics to find the class is 
to look
for what is in front of a new method :). Are you doing that?

I do not know. roel coded what he did in SOUL (kind of prolog)
and hard-coded it in VisualWorks and his demoe last week was nice
so I want to have that in squeak.

on cincom store you have a package called roel typer ro something like
that. All the code is available (ie one class and its tests :))
