Oh. I'm still very new to smalltalk. It seemed like it would help me to understand what's going on. I wanted it to remember everything. E.g if the thing is an array it will tell me what has been stored in it. Also, wouldn't it help with code completion? If it knows what type of object it was in the past it can guess which messages I want to send to it. That would be useful.

Because it's not part of a normal development process with smalltalk?
I don't *care* what types things are, as long as they don't throw a "does not understand" error when I call various methods with them.
What do you think you'll be doing with the knowledge of "the most recent class a variable has been assigned"? How will you use it in your development?
