I checked and the ensure* attribute should be storing a name (for method, class, namespace, package we can use object in the hashtable but not for stff like attribte since they are not runtime objects. ensureAttribute: name for: aClass ^(self scopeOfClass: aClass) at: name ifAbsent: [self createAttribute: name for: aClass] so I may ask for a class instance variable and get an instance variable and vice versa. For ClassVar this is not a problem since they should be uppercased. Then this is just that if I query the uniqueInstance class instance var and that the class side > You should not depend on names when storing the > variables anymore.
