They also implemented Classboxes for Java and .Net, which likely came
after their initial Squeak/Pharo implementation. Classboxes came up in
conversation recently on the Pharo list
(http://forum.world.st/ClassBoxes-bitrotted-or-usable-td4632726.html)
but I see that conversation didn't mention where one might find the
latest version.

It wouldn't hurt asking Alexandre Bergel directly.
