New issue 5411 by [hidden email]: halt: deprecated in Pharo 1.4 ...  
bring it back
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5411

I was trying to debug an issue in Pharo 1.4 and I used halt: with a  
descriptive string so that when the predebugger window comes up (the with  
Proceed, Abandon, Debug) I'd be able to see the message string for halt:  
and press proceed until I got to the interesting situation.

Well I got admonished that halt: was deprecated with the message:

   "Since you end up in a debugger, aString provides little information"

Which of course is rubbish:) ...

Without halt: I have to press DEBUG, then click on the first context and  
then click on self in the context pane to find out what the string value  
is ...

The string arg to halt is SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP IN THE WINDOW LABEL OF THE  
FIRST WINDOW AND THE DEBUGGER ...

This improvement has just made it a royal pain to try to debug things in  
Pharo 1.4 ....

Sorry for the rant:)

Even with the deprecated warning, it only takes one extra click to see the  
context ... just don't take away halt: without replacing it with something  
of equal value...
