IMHO #chasePointers and #explorePointers should be moved to the Tools 
package. The rest can be moved to ProtoObject, but it's unnecessary. 
Proxy implementations should use Igor's stratified proxies 
(http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3648 ) instead of 
subclassing ProtoObject. IMHO we should integrated them to Squeak.
