One thing that might help us sort methods and organize methods into
packages is try to decide what we think the responsibilities of those
packages are. Here is a suggested hierarchy where the most-indented
are the lowest level packages and the most outdented are the highest
level packages.
I might be helpful to be driven by where we think, *semantically*, the
behaviors you're moving around belong rather than being driven by "any
place but here because it creates a cycle".
It probably won't be possible to eliminate the cycles between the
three lowest-level packages, but hopefully from the ones above that.
Morphic
(and everything else)
ST80 -- Not sure about this one, but seems like it should be
"legacy" Smalltalk stuff rather than low-level stuff.
Tools -- Domain models that describe and operate tool windows.
System -- catch-all for System'y things. Does not
include any tool-windows.
Balloon -- Graphics framework.
Graphics -- Things related to graphical output.
Bit-blitting and canvas stuff. NOT Morphic stuff.
Multilingual -- Things related to internationalization.
Kernel -- Lowest-level things besides
collections and error-handling.
Collections -- collections.
Exceptions -- Error-handling things.
Thoughts?
