Hi. In VW they proposed the change I forward. I think it is very cool.
Mostly for newcomers or people that come from static and typed languages.

What do you think?

Cheers

Mariano

1) Possible revised message:

   174 senders call this or another of the 26 implementors of
      #attributes
   Do you want to proceed?

      Yes      Browse References      No

More helpful?  (Compare the message you get when renaming a
multiply-implemented method.)

2) I keep meaning to extend the RBDynamicRenaming utility to handle
dynamic removing.  It will not happen for 7.7.1 but I may get around to
it.  (Meanwhile, of course, the coverage tool can let you see whether it
is called, and if so by whom, during some test or exercise of the code.)

         Yours faithfully
             Niall Ross
