class := CogVMSimulator whichClassIncludesSelector: s.
StackInterpreterSimulator recompile: s from: class.
StackInterpreterSimulator organization classify: s under: (class whichCategoryIncludesSelector: s)] value: #printStringOf:on:.
because if one simply does recompile:from: and the selector doesn't exist in the target then one ends up with a hidden selector; it's in the method dictionary but because it isn't in the organization it doesn't show in the browser or in Monticello etc.
The rationale for not having recompile:from: check the organization is a good one; when recompiling a class that has changed shape (had inst vars added or removed) we don't want to waste cycles checking something redundant. So how about having ClassDescription>>recompile:from: doing the check if the receiver doesn't equal the argument class, e.g.:
ClassDescription>>recompile: selector from: oldClass
"Preserve the originalTraitMethod (if any) after recompiling a selector"

oldMethod := oldClass compiledMethodAt: selector.
