Hi, this is a survey, please answer :-)

If you press cmd+y when editing a test method, it saves it (if necessary),
runs the tests and if passes, runs all the tests in the system category.
When the system category hierarchy was introduced, this behavior was not
changed but programmers sometimes expect cmd+y to run tests of all the
system category "family" (that is its root and all children categories),
but sometimes they expect the current behavior.
I think that the best solution would be to add a new menu option such as
"Save & Run Test in Category Family (Y)" so we have all options covered. I
think I would add the same option to the system category menu, but I'd like
to know what you think, therefore the survey:

1) Add  "Save & Run Tests in Category Family (Y)" as a menu option to the
Smalltalk Editor and add "Run Test sin Category Family (Y)" as a menu
option to the System Category Menu.
2) Change the current behavior of cmd+y and run all tests of the category
family and add "Run Test in Category Family (y)" as a menu option to the
System Category Menu.
3) Do nothing, if you want to run all tests of the system category family
go to the root category and press cmd+t
4) Other!

Which one do you prefer?

Cheers!
Hernan
