This is a fairly big usability hassle, but I have typically been doing even worse things to the code (SIF, followed by search/replace with the regex package), so I typically have gone hunting for the snag (usually an improperly terminated cascade, which Dolphin 5.x happily compiles, hence the large number of them in my code), exit Pharo, re-run, re-load and look for the next error. It's a pleasant surprise when it finally loads cleanly. It would be better to have a clean way to cope with these things.

Motivation: I was loading the HTML package from http://www.squeaksource.com/htmlcssparser. I got a syntax error because "-1" was typed "- 1". I fixed and accepted it in the window that came up, but the load got messed up - specifically many classes had methods that showed in the browser, but the category pane showed no methods. At this point, I couldn't save the package, or even merge, because MC was reporting errors. I removed all the offending classes, and then merged, using everything from the original package except the method I had fixed. It seemed too complicated. What is the best way to handle the above situation?
