Hi Ben,
It's probably time to revisit

Le lun. 4 mars 2019 �� 03:47, Ben Coman <btc@openinworld.com> a ��crit��:
In relation to developing sample solutions��for an Exercism exercise, the following observation was made about class initialization...

> class is initialized on load - and not when you modify it - so this can be very confusing for users����

My first thought was to wonder if Quality Assistant could track whether a class initialize method had been run after it was modified,
and display alerts.

Alternatively, I wonder if a reasonable pattern would be to couple��class-side lazy initialization��
with a pragma to reset a variable when the method is saved...

�� �� MyClass class >> referenceData
�� �� �� �� <onSaveResetVariable: ReferenceData>
�� �� �� �� ^ ReferenceData := ReferenceData ifNil: [ 'reference data' ]
