Workspace/Playground behavior change for unknown "bindings"?

Hey,

I recently showed Pharo to a friend and one thing I like doing is to open a playground/workspace and then write and execute:

Person new
name: '...';
age: 2342;
yourself

In old versions of Pharo I would get a popup like "Person" not known and asking me if I want to create a class. In Pharo6.1 I did get an error. Was this intentional?

Intentional or not, thats a really simple quick demo that would be
good make it possible.

Hello,

Yes, this is a bug… I have a fix and planned to merge it this week.

Ok, pull request for Pharo7:

https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/806

we should add that to Pharo6, too (Slice is already in the inbox)

The idea is that this is the first step, we need to simplify the whole Requester-Scope story later.

(I was waiting to remove the old compiler *and* start to deprecate the old Api before doing that).

But it fixes the problem and is a first step.
