There were an addon named DontModeMeIn for VisualWorks browser�which I believe did the same thing.�It was written by Vasilii Bykov and there was an article on it in his blog, but I can't find that blog in the new Cincom's site, and can't find that article in WaybackMachine either� The only reference I can find is here [http://scg.unibe.ch/download/wasdett/wasdett2008-paper03.pdf]. Hopefully, the addon is still in Cincom's Public Repository�

We have method versions. I don't see a reason why uncommited methods can not go just on the list. They could be marked as unsaved/unommited (in fact they are not compiled so different per se) or even better the method version list should be a timeline where the current version is the present and everything else is a past or a potential future version.
