hi guys how could we make clear that class (the second item when inspector an object) is not part of the object itself. I found that confusing to get mixed self/class/allinstvars and the instVar. When navigating nested structures this is annoying to ask ourselves what do we see exactly. Stef

A low impact option (that may even be reasonable to slip into Pharo 3.0) would be to make the first 'c' capital so that the distinction is observed at the start of the line rather than the end.
