Stef,

And you were ready to give up on Pharo... :)  A lot of Squeak code looks like 
it was written w/o thought of exceptions.  There is probably good reason for 
that, in that much of it comes from before the days of structured exception 
handling, weak collections, etc.  In fairness, having a browser, or worse yet a 
debugger, quit over a bad receiver problem can turn ugly.  By putting things in 
Object, those types of bugs would be largely avoided.  I'm not saying it is a 
good way to work, but it is wide spread in Squeak.

Bill

May be not putting everything in Object would help.
