</div>If you're want only to short-cut writing:<br>
<br>
thisContext method methodClass<br>
<br>
then why use other selector than methodClass?<br>
<br>
Btw, in Pharo image (which i currently running) there is already such<br>
thing, implemented as:<br>
ContextPart>>methodClass<br>
"Answer the class in which the receiver's method was found."<br>
<br>
^self method methodClass ifNil:[self receiver class].<br>
<br>
A method stamp reads:<br>
