We came up with: #readSlot: #readSlotNamed: #writeSlot:value: #writeSlotNamed:value: #writeToSlot:of: (this is what the compiler generates to reflectively write a slot) e.g. 5@3 readSlot: (Point slotNamed: #x) 5@3 writeSlotNamed: #x value: 7 This is in the issue tracker: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13418/reflective-API-for-Slots-on-Object Marcus
