isThisEverCalled (was: RC-3 ready)

Hi Stef, I tried dragging method to another category it both a
HierarchyBrowser and a SystemBrowser but could not seem to reproduce
that.  Which method did you move and what type of browser?

Yesterday in the board meeting there was a question about whether
there are any "end users" who use Squeak or is it just all developers.
 Like you, I believe there are and that for Squeak to be a viable
platform for them debuggers should not be popping up.  :)

But those calls to #isThisEverCalled are put in with conservatism --
they should _not_ be getting hit and so I would really like to know
how you reached this..

Hi,

Actually in my own code I have a version of
TransferMorph>>justDroppedInto:event: that is adpated from an earlier
version than yours from 2010. This is because I wanted to send
#adaptToWorld: in case the transfer morph lands on the World (I have of
course implemented #adaptToWorld: in TransferMorph). I actually don't
need the call to #dropNotifyRecipient that is in that previous version,
but it was there so I left it there at the time.

So, no real problem and I did overreact a little, sorry. Just the way it
happened felt like some kind of agression.

I guess I'm too sensitive... :)

Me too. I often work all day in Squeak.

Writing notes, calculating my income taxes, you name it. It took me some
time to get comfortable with Smalltalk, but I rarely open a spreadsheet any
more. It's just easier to do things in Squeak. I also use Squeak for the
fun of it. I don't watch TV or play video games, but I enjoy working on
things in Squeak just to pass the time.

I do not use Squeak for anything related to my day job, and I do not do
Squeak work for money, so I guess that too makes me a "user".

One of the things that I like about Squeak is that I do not feel like
there is a distinction between users and developers. I am a user who
figured out how to be a developer, but I prefer not to think in terms of
those categories.
