What's the practical difference between calling

```

(RBAddClassRefactoring
�� addClass: #SomeClass
�� superclass: #Object
�� subclasses: {}
�� category: #Category) primitiveExecute; changes.

```

and

```

Object subclass: #SomeClass

instanceVariableNames: ''

classVariableNames: ''

package: 'Category'

```

likewise for the attribute?

I am doing source code generation in one project and using the latter approach, so I am curious about the benefit of the first one.

Thanks,

Peter
