I want to use this tools. I want to trace  pointer to a particular objects.
For the moment I was exploring an object and then use the "chase pointers"
option. So...I have a couple of questions:

1) which is the difference between using PointerFinder and PointerExplorer
?

2) which is the difference between "chase pointers" and "explore pointers"
?

I guess 1) and 2) is the same question.

3) In issue 156, it says you are going to remove PointerFinder, but it is
still present in my PharoCore 12023. Altought, it doesn't have references
and doesn't seem to be used anymore.

4)  What was really  changed in 156?  I see the label is now "Objects
pointing to this value"

It would be really cool to have a book section talking about tracing object
pointers.

Thanks

Mariano
