Colin,

Among many useful things in Dolphin is an ability to assign multiple
categories to any given method; Squeak and Pharo allow only one
category, and it promptly gets chewed up by PackageInfo.  Multiple
categories would be a nice addition to Squeak and Pharo.  

How hard would it be to change Monticello to take its input not from
PackageInfo and its (pardon me) abuse of category names, but from
reifications of the categories?  The new objects would form the basis
for packaging system, and free method categories to do what they do
best: aid in browsing and understanding code.

In transition, a future version of Monticello could create the needed
objects using the same rules as PackageInfo (or any time it is
instructed to do so).  

Comments?
