Ghost won't be a big help here. Slots would be a good solution but not if it needs to be removable on runtime. So it seems MethodWrappers is your best bet. I'd try create a caching MethodWrapper, mark all the needed methods with a pragma and then install the MethodWrapper on these. Could be a package wide install/uninstall if you need that. Norbert

What's wrong with?
myData ^ data ifNil: [data := self computeMe]
That I do have a lot of places like this and do not want these data littering the code.
Aspects would solve this but we do not have that.
Also I need the mechanism to be removable.
So, I read something about MethodWrapper, ghost, slots... Can't one use any of these things to do this memoization cleanly?

How can I do memoization in Pharo?
I mean, a generic mechanism that will help me wrap the caching around the method invocations / messages.
I have expensive calls that do not have to refresh their results as often as they are called.
