Hi brent
We are focusing on other stuff right now. I got a look at VisualWorks
and
they are inconsistent in naming Error. So if other like the idea go
ahead but think that we should have a deprecation mechanism for them.
For method this is easy but for class renaming it does not work.
May be one idea would be to inspect the stack when a changeset is
loaded and have a table somewhere containing the renaming information
DivideByZeroError -> DivideByZero.
Not clear to me how to do it but this will become important.
