Well, the full story is that the decompiler is now gone with Opal.
There is a decompiler again in Pharo4
So, there were 3 in the beginning. So, of course with 2, this becomes a switch.
Why no decompiler anymore, for the layman I am?
The *option* of showing decompiled code in the browser: Honestly, I do not get why this was useful, ever.
I can think of three reasons. 1. mutable literals. using the decompiler is a quick way to check if a literal has been corrupted/modified 2. if you're working on the decompiler this is convenient 3. when Dan's encode temp names in trailer and decompile scheme was being developed/used there would be no need to display sources
