Hem, such OnHold tag shall by accompanied by proper motivation...
As a reminder, the decision was due to the fact that caseOf: is used  
extensively in COG version of VMMaker.
Removing caseOf: would prevent proper generation of VM from Pharo, unless  
some Pre-requisite glue code package would be loaded as a pre-requisite of  
the Metacello configuration...

Indeed. Maybe what we can remove is not the method but the compiler  
optimzation?
Anyway, in ConfigurationOfCog, we are loading the package  
VMMakerPharoCompatibility (or something like that) so we could add those  
methods as extension if we want...

This was the idea.
We do not need caseOf: in the language. But apparently this is difficult to  
add it as method extensions of the VMMaker package....
