Hi Damien,
actually I do not know what is already implemented and what not.
I am expecting I will investigate existing implementations during the
coming weeks. I am beginner in Squeak, but I want to change it.
I particularly propose to create new (or extend one of existing)
System Browser with all of mentioned features. So developers will
get one easy to use System Browser with Traits support, refactoring
and others.
Do you think I should change something in my proposals?
Thank you in advance.
