Float variableWordSubclass

When I define...
    Float subclass: MyPrefixFloat

why does it get changed to...
    Float variableWordSubclass: #MyPrefixFloat

and is that just what the Epsilon symbol next to the class is?

cheers, Ben

btw, the reason I am doing this is to simplify automating the import of
a UML model with a standard prefix for all classes including this
"primitive"

I guess you meat Float subclass: #MyPrefixFloat .

Float is already a variableWordSubclass, so its subclasses must also be
variableWordSubclasses, otherwise the indexable slots would be lost.

What Epsilon symbol?

Subclassing Float doesn't seem to be a good idea, I'm also not sure if it
will work (especially with Cog).

There's no such thing in Squeak, so I don't know. Maybe you shoud ask it
from Pharo users.

AFAIK,  it is an indicator that the class inherits from Magnitude.
It is present in omnibrowsers.
