Add a method that documents the postRecompileAction convention for rebuilding state affected by a Compiler recompileAll.
=============== Diff against Kernel-mt.1272 ===============
Item was added:
+ ----- Method: Object class>>postRecompileAction (in category 'documentation') -----
+ postRecompileAction
+ "This is a stub method to document the convention for reinitializing state at the end of Compiler recompileAll.
+ The issue is that after recompiling all methods, processes or blocks could remain that refer to old methods,
+ and that somehow those processes should be restarted and objects referring to blocks rebuilt. For example,
+ PluggableDictionary integerDictionary creates a PluggableDictionary with a hashBlock that refers to the
+ PluggableDictionary class>>#integerDictionary method. Users of PluggableDictionary integerDictionary can
+ rebuild structures containing it after recompile by implementing thsi method to do so. Compiler will then
+ invoke any and all such methods after recompileAll."

+ ^self!
