A somewhat unique name makes it easier to google for it (like Roassal Pharo, or DeepTraverser Pharo, or Zinc Pharo). These will give us hits that are relevant.
Try System Browser, Inspector... And Apple has worked with NSObject and stuff like that without too much trouble (at a much larger scale for whatever XyzKit they released). Ah, yes, they used the "Kit" suffix. Maybe can we have something like that with Pharo. Like SystemBrowserKit ( nah, too Appleish. Let's try SystemBrowserMeccano (longish), or SystemBrowserPack (too bland), or SystemBrowserGear (why not), SystemBrowserRig (this one sounds cool actually)). Now, I am back to liking the current naming. Phil On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 2:43 PM, Andrew Glynn <aglyn...@gmail.com> wrote: > How many subsystems that do pretty much the same thing exist in Java?
