Magritte 2 (was MASingleOptionDescription ...)

Are you talking about the following paragraph I wrote? If yes, the first point is my answer: * In my opinion descriptions are orthogonal to the Smalltalk meta- hierarchy. Currently Magritte only allows to automatically compose and collect descriptions from the class-side that are then applied to the instance side. This sort of makes sense but gets complicated as soon as people want to change descriptions depending on the state of the object or want to apply descriptions to the class-side itself (there is no place to put these). Both use-cases are already possible right now, but they are unnecessary complex. The only problem I see when putting the descriptions to the instance- side is that you require an instance of the object to get the meta- model. I don't know if anybody sees a possible problem with this? * Another thing I would like to change is to get rid of the whole MAReferenceDescription hierarchy. Again this is something that is much more complex than it should be. Similar to EMOF I would like to add a multiplicity attribute directly to the basic description itself. * And of course use less common selector names for extension methods to Object. ;-) Any other important change-requests?
