Yes, many times. In Squeak, so it might well be in those parts still
common to both. I happened to be working with partial continuations,
so I was actively hacking the stack in which I was debugging, but I've
seen it occasionally elsewhere too.

You edit the method, accept, restart... and if you open a Browser on
that method the method's unchanged and versions shows no trace of your
edit.
