[squeak-dev] ClassOrganizer and classifyAllUnclassfied

Hi, there.

Yes, ClassOrganizer knows about classes and thus also about
#withAllSuperclasses. Putting the #classifyAllUnclassified code into
ClassOrganizer improves the support for tests and scripts.

Yet, the name "classifyAllUnclassified" is ambiguous. Why not keep the name
"categorizeAllUncategorizedMethods"? It is an organizer that manages
categories. What about "categorizeAllUncategorized"? Such a method could
exist for other organizers as well, using some other rule.

In general: +1

Best,
Marcel
