New issue 5118 by [hidden email]: Check pointsTo: and  
InstVarInclude: in squeak
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5118

#pointsTo: should answer true if the receiver has a pointer to the  
argument. Every object (except for SmallIntegers and instances of compact  
classes) holds a pointer to its class in the header. Since the primitive  
only checks the slots, it will not always return true if the argument is  
the object's class. This breaks pointer finding/tracing tools, that's why  
it was changed in Squeak. See how #instVarsInclude: and #pointsTo: is  
implemented there.


Do not close this bug entry! even if nothing happen- I have no time. but I  
do not want people forget.
Of course you can also have a look and provide a fix.

Since this was included in 14264, shouldn't we close the issue? I do it  
just in case..
