Stef,
Just to clarify, I would like to see category become categories, and
to
have those free for my use vs. being hijacked by the packaging sytem.
Colin replied favorably to my email; it sounds as though he has a
similar idea cooking, and I gave him a few things to ponder in
response.
I will leave it to his discretion, but perhaps we should post those
emails here. A few mentions of slices in various replies suggest
that I
need to take another look at them.
Please trust me when I say that Dolphin's ability to apply multiple
method categories is a VERY useful feature. You would not regret
adding
that capability to Pharo.

Thanks for the reply. Please do not feel attacked in any way by
this,
but you have beautifully illustrated my point: I am not asking to
put
method in multiple *packages*, I am asking to free categories to do
what
they *should* do, which is tag methods in ways I find useful.
PackageInfo (not to denigrate it), has completely hijacked the
concept -
actually, the Squeak community failed to add state to allow it to
operate independently of categories.
Ok. It sounds kind of like how Craig changed this in Spoon. He
got rid of Catogories altogether. In spoon, there are modules,
which are a collection of methods. Attached to each method is a
number of tags. One usually wants to browse by tags, but one can
browse by modules too.
I really wish I could try out Dolphin and VW and see what I am
missing, but they don't run on linux.
