No problem. It's always easier to talk about the bad things than to good
ones. :) I hope you will like your usage of Pharo.

It was raised many times before but apparently it was not easy to change.

Peter did some scripts to change it and I currently use them.

The code can be found here:

https://github.com/jecisc/pharo-scripts/tree/master/settings/PharoSettings5.package

There are some extensions to the debugger and to replace the current
behaviour of the debugger I use Metalinks
(https://github.com/jecisc/pharo-scripts/blob/master/settings/PharoSettings5.package/Pharo5CommonSettings.class/class/addMetaLinksForDebugger.st)

If we can have a way to get it directly into the debugger it would be
great. :)
