Hi all,

The source code of a method could be a Text, with TextAttributes. In such
case, it will be written down to a stream with a "]style[" suffix. Through
a special parsing, the system can reconstruct the original Text. I think
the use of Text in source code or class comments is discouraged, but I
understand we kept support for some backward compatibility. Now, may be
it's time to remove this feature.

With Pablo, we looked for uses of ]style[ in the .sources and .changes
files of a new Pharo 5.0, and there are no real uses. It appears in some
comments only, as examples.

We tried to find past discussions about this feature, because we're sure
there were, but we couldn't.

So, the questions is:

   Can we remove support for text in source code or class comments in Pharo
5.0?


I think I can propose a slice.

Regards,
Martín
PS: I was trying to cut dependencies of Text-Core with System-Changes and
System-Changes.
