Hi guys
I will deprecate isAbstractClass and introduce defineAbstractMethods. why? because as soon as we have an abstract method in Object nearly all the classes becomes abstract and this does not make sense. Now I can understand that we want to know if a class defineAbstractMethods and sometimes taking into account inheritance. http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=7123
well, since in smalltalk you can make everything extremely late bound, i wonder, if it makes any sense to apply such terminology to classes at all. these terms coming from static languages in their attempt to add OO..
