<p>Hi Levente,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>actually, I love the Dictionary API with the #ifPresent:ifAbsent: arguments as it is very convenient for describing the code paths (IMHO). As you may have seen, I am trying to establish it for more domains (see <span>Collections-ct.873, <span>Collections-ct.872, <span>Collections-ct.875).</span></span></span></p>

<div class="PlainText">Hi Christoph,<br>
<br>
The idea with Environments was to move away from the SystemDictionary API. <br>
It obviously didn't happen, but there's #classNamed: for class lookup by <br>
name. Actually #classNamed: was there with SystemDictionary too, but it <br>
was and still is underused.<br>
