Who adds to MemoryHogs and implements #freeSomeSpace?


Hi Georg, 

Thanks for the insight.

Can you add this to the Mantis report so it is
recorded there.

I have been looking at the almost 200 unimplemented
calls and trying to suggest appropriate action. Since
I am often delving into areas where I don't know what
I'm doing I expect to get things wrong from time to
time.

Do you know which applications specifically use the
memoryHogs method. 
Can you describe how it is supposed to be used? 
What might the method #freeSomeSpace look like in
practice?

That figures.
So would it make sense to get rid of the unimplemented
call by making a stub for #freeSomeSpace in say
Object?

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
