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

[Gerald Klix]

I took a second look on my Haver code. As you might have expected, I messed around with #compilerClass in Haver,
meaning I added this one:

Class>>#compilerClass
compilerClass
"Answer a compiler class appropriate for source methods of this class."

^ self class compilerClass
It's delegate to the meta-class which invokes Behavior>>#compilerClass.
This way I am able to use another Compiler for Haver's Module, that features
a parser, that in turn implements automatic importing of bindings.
I can redefine it again for modules that support multiple-dispatch.

Summary: No harm done at all!

Best Regards,
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. --
