yes :)
Now that we have ring we should start rethinking source management but this
will not be for 2.0
except if somebody come up with a good and working solution.
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?
I would really like to have a structured logger and not just a flow of text.
That sounds great for the long term, but was wondering if there were any
good ideas in the meantime! I could only think of applying do-it's if it
starts with a class name for example.
