Class protocol:

instance creation
o  class: cls selector: sel source: src category: cat

o  className: clsName selector: sel source: src category: cat


Instance protocol:

accessing
o  category

o  category: aCategory

o  changeMethod

o  changeSelector
(comment from inherited method)
the selector, if it is a method change. Nil oherwise

o  class: cls selector: sel source: src category: cat
split the name

o  classIsJava
Returns true, if this change is for Java class (i.e., if it is for
Smalltalk method that extends Java class)

o  classIsJava: aBoolean
Sets whether this change is for Java class (i.e., if it is for
Smalltalk method that extends Java class)

o  className
(comment from inherited method)
Returns class name of the class as it was present in the original change.
For changes from a file with namespace override, this will be the
className *without* toplevel namespace, but with all owning classes
(if the change class is a private class).
For changes generated internally (by the browser), this will be the full name,
and the namespace override will be nil.

cg: this is all very confusing and needs some cleanup.
However it will be done, any change here needs checks in all users of this code.
