Hi Germán,

Aida doesn't use Grease, just Sport for portability of Times, Files and
Sockets while for all other dialect specific methods there is a dialect
remark in method comment, like:

Object>>firstSessionFromStack
  "Squeak specific"
  ...

And there is also a special browser (VW only for now) to find all such
methods.

This happens to be simple and elegant but also effective method of
portable code. In my opinion Grease became too complex and invasive, so
it causes more trouble than it solves. With careful avoiding of any
nonportable code while marking the rest dialect specific methods as
shown above you achieve the same by much cleaner way.

Best regards
Janko
