Description
STCompiler, at least, uses the #import: message on classes to implement that pragma. Unfortunately the empty version in Builtins.st shadowed the proper definition in ClassDesc.st:
Object: nil error: did not understand #at:ifAbsent: ... STInST.STCompiler>>acceptMessageNode:
where nil is supposed to be VMSpecialMethods. Fixed in smalltalk--backstage--2.2--patch-68 by promoting said empty version to ClassDescription.
