Smalltalk stores: memory snapshot "image" AND "change log" text file AND "sources" text file. https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/Code-Management.html https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/Code-Management... If the "sources" file is missing the byte code will be decompiled to show class and method definitions, but the original names will be unknown.

It is only an implementation detail. It is a matter of change of a few methods only to store sources directly in methods. I tried that once.

  It's all only "an implementation detail". Some of them are documented and expected.
