So you imported our changes in a branch of your repo?  I was going to make a
list of what we had to do to import it into pharo to send it to you :).
Actually I learnt a lot (and I still do) while doing the port, but my
learning process is a bit chaothic, and making a list in the first try was
not easy for me, hehe.

Actually yes, since in pharo we don't have namespaces, we had to
recategorize a lot of classes to put it a little of order, hehe.
