Request for interactive selector correction preference

Hello,

I'm currently working a lot in workspaces, and using
dynamically-generated selectors in my code. This means that I have to
close a lot of pop-up windows telling me I'm using an unknown selector.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a preference for turning off that
behavior ?

The thing happens right at the beginning in
Parser>>#correctSelector:wordIntervals:exprInterval:ifAbort:

where we have:

        "If we can't ask the user, assume that the keyword will be defined later"
        self interactive ifFalse: [^proposedKeyword asSymbol].

I would propose to make it

        (self interactive or: [ "...some preference..." ])
                ifFalse: [^proposedKeyword asSymbol].

What do you think ?

Stef

Yes.

Ok, should I implement this ? What is the best place for storing the
preference inst var (if we use a pragma) ? Or should I add an entry to
Preferences ?

A Pragma, please! Parser seems like a not unreasonable place to put
the preference...?
