I got stuck countless times when reading pharo code, because there was a message send to a variable I didn't know the type of, so I couldn't know which method was being called (because there were multiple methods with that name in the system). So the only solution was to place a breakpoint and get that method to be executed.
That is an interesting perspective. I usually browse senders. This almost* always seems to work, except when the message selector is very generic and reused in different contexts (e.g. #next)
then you can scope your senders. There are 99% of possibilities your message is sent within the context of the class or package you are looking for. Esteban
