Agree, I just put it as an example. Indeed I like more your simpler version

Do you mean something like...
ProtoObject subclass: #ProtoObject
instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'Kernel-Objects'.
ProtoObject superclass: nil
ProtoObject pragmas: 'pragma1 pragma2 pragma3'
?
That would be nice :D. We decouple the pragmas from the declaration and we
avoid making the combinatory :P.
