New issue 3769 by [hidden email]: Printing an object depends on  
#isKindOf:
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3769

Due to the method:

SmalltalkEditor>>#printIt
        "Treat the current text selection as an expression; evaluate it. Insert the
        description of the result of evaluation after the selection and then make
        this description the new text selection."
        | result |
        result := self evaluateSelection.
        ((result isKindOf: FakeClassPool) or: [result == #failedDoit])
                        ifTrue: [morph flash]
                        ifFalse: [self afterSelectionInsertAndSelect: result printString]


So when trying to print an object which is an instance of a class which  
directly inherits from ProtoObject, it raises an error

Anyway, you'll have to remove references to FakeClassPool. See #3704

Yes we will remove them this is on my radar.

remove FakeClassPool because it does not serve any useful feature.

Rather than testing an evaluation result for (FakeClassPool) kind or  
#failedDoit, it is better and simpler to use the ifFail block provided in  
Compiler evaluate message.
