Hi Dale - thanks for chipping in. I’ve seen references to Rowan, but hadn’t investigated. Interesting.
Were you thinking of a standard visitor pattern (Gof) or something else? And/Or, Is this visiting piece already done, or would it help if we had such a beast in Pharo that you could then reuse for your purpose? As an aside, in a separate message, I was lamenting the complexity of managing 100 simple similar packages with the same dependency - would Rowan help with that?
