[Squeakfoundation]Re: Refactor tag

[Stephane Ducasse]

Hi all

After thinking about it I think that having [KCP][ENH] would be the

Note that while cleaning we are also removing bugs. Such as sending a 
message isMeta to behavior breaks, or other methods calling method only 
defined in subclasses.

Is it ok for you?
