I saw this today:

Class>>#private_subclass: t instanceVariableNames: f classVariableNames: d poolDictionaries: s category: cat

1) method name is not according to conventions (should be #privateSubclass:instanceVariableNames:classVariableNames: poolDictionaries:category:) 2) variable names are not good: t, f, d, s and cat do not means anything. 3) if is private, needs to be in “private” protocol. 4) more than “private” I think it’s function is “basic”… but that’s not a real problem :)

please, a fix?

This is my fix for issue 16836 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/16836/Can-t-remove-an-instance-variable-an...> Can't remove an instance variable and a trait in one step to fix this issue, I had to add another method private_subclass ... between the two subclass:... variants, one with a uses-traits and one without the uses-traits name. If you find a better way, please let me know. About the variable naming, well I just copied the existing method arg names. It is not in the "private" category, because it is not private to the trait users that have to implement this. The method is just called "private_...." because I could not think of a better name.
