Marcus,
Rats :) Â You've stolen my thunder. Â Actually, I won't go as far as to say "never," but I agree. Â There are places in Squeak that inherit from collections or put methods in Object, and it sure looks as though the programmer didn't know any better.
And partly, this was because it was done a very long time ago... back than, it was not known how to program with this newly invented object things. Even by the people who invented it! It's often that others, who than use it, learn how to use it better than the creators.
The same will happen with everything we will invent (if we invent anything, that is :-) ).
+100 the good thing is, that we're free to change this. While java people got stuck with sealed stuff forever :)
