I will try. The more I wander in the image the more I smell method on the
wrong place. The problem is that I do not see how we could cover that we
tests.
The first area that I would like to clean is SystemDictionary there are far
too much responsibility there.
Then I would really like to clean a bit Object but this one may have a lot
of repercussions.
Anybody else has wishes?
