I tried to use UML for modelling smalltalk classes & relations. But
then quit this idea quickly after trying multiple UML tools for it..
I don't understand why i need to specify a variable types, and types
method arguments & return types. All tools require type information
for all such entities (you can't leave them empty).
It seems that UML was designed for languages with static typing, and
does not fit for modeling smalltalk classes.
