[Pharo-users] Recovery log thoughts

[Chris]

One area I see some beginners struggle with image development is with 
regards to losing work, and I feel that Pharo's recovery log could be 
improved to help with this.

Two scenarios that come to mind are firstly where methods are filed in 
that created an instance variable at method save the first time round. 
These log to the transcript that the variable is now undeclared, but 
that can go unseen, and the result is things appearing to work while you 
only have one instance of that object. Could this bring up a similar 
prompt maybe? Another difficulty is that you can not simply file in all 
selections as any do-it's which were done in a different context will 
fail. Is there any way we can differentiate the important do-it's such 
as class definitions, selector removes and so on from the rest?
