[Cuis-dev] Ordering of method categories gets lost sometimes

[Gerald Klix]

I am beginning to remember why I did this.

I once developed a rather large package that implements multiple-dispatch.
For that purpose I implemented a custom compiler and two Parser classes,
including the shout part. Not to mention the decompiler.

I was not able to compile any test code, because #compilerClass needs to be defined,
to compiler the remaining code. Of course this can be solved by defining an abstract super class
in a distinct package, that just defines #compilerClass, but I deem that solution ugly.

A sensible solution would be to file out the category definitions before the code.
I would like to keep it for Haver, but this isn't a big deal.
I had to sub-class CodePackage anyway, to make it deal with emvironments/modules.
So drop me a note if you want to change it, I can cope.

HTH,
Gerald

Lately I noticed that ‘printing’ ends up at the top, not sure why but there seems to be something special about ‘printing’. I haven’t researched the problem yet, just wondering if this is happening only with my package or if it happens to other people. --
