Guys, i really wonder, how it differs from using a usual smalltalk syntax for class declaration? pragmas: '<pragma1> <pragma2>' can be written as: pragmas: 'pragma1 pragma2' without any loss of extensibility/flexibility/whatever. Of course, we can put any sequence of characters into the string literal and parse them in any way we want to, to extract some extra information. But is it worth it? But i wonder, why we should invent so over-complicated ways to do simple things? In any way, if we need that class should carry additional information, which needs to be formally represented in declaration, then i why not just keep using ordinary syntax, by adding either additional keywords, or even statements. Just look at ProtoObject declaration: ProtoObject subclass: #ProtoObject instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Kernel-Objects'. ProtoObject superclass: nil if we want to extend this, it is logically to follow the same pattern and add any other statements, like: MyClass foo: bar. Just my 2c. 2010/7/9 Nicolas Cellier <nicolas.cellier.aka.nice@gmail.com>:

Why not add an extension to the #subclass: method family like
Object subclass: #AppRegistry    instanceVariableNames: ''    classVariableNames: ''    poolDictionaries: ''    pragmas: '<pragma1> <pragma2>'    category: 'System-Applications'
good idea. But then, you need to have a collection of Pragmas in Behavior, ClassDescription or similar. Did I understand well?
Would it be easily extensible ? I mean extending the class of another package...

May be using a class method? But yes this would be important.
The initialize method of the metaclass maybe.

Hi,
while it is possible to annotate methods using Pragmas, what about classes?
