Stéphane , i found some amazing stuff for you in Squeak.
Look for senders of:
#isKindOf:orOf:
and if you not yet fully amazed , then look at senders of
#ownerThatIsA:
Amazing!
It would be useful if you stopped being so polemic. You are not making any point that I can see.

- Not backward compatible
because, unfortunately, it is a main obstacle for moving forward. Or maybe not? Maybe we should start making amazing stuff right now?
I am doing amazing stuff with Squeak right now. I have been doing so for years.
Then we're putting different meaning in an 'amazing' word. I can do amazing stuff, but its often requires hacks, workarounds and other different gotchas, which i hate to put into my code. And after all of that, fairly, i can't call it amazing anymore. Can you?
Now that Pharo provides the non-backward compatible way, which is fine, I don't understand why the question arises for Squeak once again. Pharo is the solution, isn't it ? (and I mean it).
You may feel content about code, which rots there for years, and no-one even cares rewriting/optimizing/making it better. But i don't. I don't like sitting on the gas canister and hoping that next spark will not blow it up.
