So this means that during the compilation of the method you map the  
name to iv?

Ok I was wrong even better. :)

I was thinking about what could be a textual representation and a way  
to integrate in the class creation interface (basically an entry  
point in the underlying mop that would support a better way to  
support textual representation of first class field as in CLOS).

May be

Object subclass: Personn
	iv: 'name <CField...> firstname <k;lk;l>

or

Object subclass: Personn
	iv: 'name <CField...>' ;
         iv:  firstname <k;lk;l>

Because I think that syntax is still what we type in an old-fashion  
editor.
But this is another topic.

Ok you change that then, or did not tell me the right answer to my
