Just a random idea as I am working on the PharoLaserGame tutorial, and I
see the need to repetitively tell the reader to create the same standard
protocols on each new class, e.g. accessing, initialization, testing....
It might be useful for newly defined classes to pre-populate the System
Browser Protocols List with a small set of the most common
protocols...etc. These could be displayed in grey similar to extension
methods until they actually contained anything. Obviously this would not
suit everyone but might be very useful to novices. You might consider
it a form of cultural training/normalism.
Is is practical to have such a common subset of protocols? The danger
of course is that the list grows to an unwieldy size.
Now I am not such a novice, but personally I'd find this somewhat useful
day to day.
Enough rambling, what are your thoughts?
