Compiler warning suggestion, Smalltalk compiler in 5.0?

Christopher J. Demers
I would like to suggest that the compiler raise a warning if it compiles an
#onViewOpened method implemented in a Presenter subclass without a super
send.  It is an easy mistake to make and can be very confusing to diagnose
especially for people new to Dolphin or not comfortable with the events they
are trying to use.

Seeing Ian's recent message about method selector parsing made me think
about this again.  I recall reading a message from Blair a while ago that
mentioned a new compiler for Dolphin coded in Smalltalk itself.  Is this to
be included in version 5.0?

I am really looking forward to 5.0, particularly the UI enhancements.
