Hi guys,

As described in this issue on the Seaside tracker [1], it appears that setting a breakpoint on a method simply sends the #break message. As #break is not an uncommon method name, the choice for this makes is a de-facto reserved method in Pharo.

How often is "break" this typed and does it need to be so concise? Now #break sounds like it breaks execution "right now", similar to "halt". If it just "sets" a brekapoint, then "setBreak" sounds more intention revealling, or even "setBreakpoint".

Would it not be better to rename #break to #_break ? This will avoid unintended clashes.
I would avoid using _break because we have halt and not _halt.
Now for break we could have
Halt break or something like that to remove from Object selector space.
