Customizing SmalltalkEditor context menu issue

you are not the only one, I have been coding 2 years now with Pharo , pragmas still look as the most non smalltalky things as the first time I discovered them.

Thanks for the great explanation!

I had reached an almost the target menu by modify all of
SmalltalkEditor, TClassDescription and AbstractNautilusUI classes
methods.

To be honest I'm newbie and this pragma thing seems foreign between
the other pleasant experiences with smalltaking, and kind of hindrance
for the exploratory nature of normal smalltalk code browsing.

Ala'a
