Class-side hierarchy to show meta-classes?
Working on case 12498 [1] has evolved to the idea of the class-side hierarchy showing meta-classes per attached snapshot. I'd like some community feedback on the idea. Note the metaclasses are bolded similar to how bold indicates class-side methods. Thanks Nicolai for your help so far. cheers -ben [1] https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/12498/
I think that it can be quite confusing for beginners. I would put at the minimum a setting to disable it. Stef

Hi Ben, What you may like is to browse multiple parallel hierarchies. This is done in TaxoNote: http://www.nomencurator.org/InfoVis2003/questions.html AFAIK it was never done in any Smalltalk flavor. Cheers, Hernán 2013/12/27 <btc@openinworld.com>
