[Pharo-users] enhance object presentation in the inspector for documentation

Hi all.

I really like the ability we have in the browser to set and signal method with 
sample code so we can run them easily by a simple click. The pragma <example> 
or <script: > are really helpful to document entry point or keep example as 
small script directly with the code.

To have a better grasp of certain object I create, I look at the possibility in 
the inspector to provide custom object representation. It look like if I add 
the pragma <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: XX> to some method, it will be added 
in the inspector as an extra tab with custom representation. Morphic widget are 
a good example of this.

With a quick investigation, I can see that the presentation in those tabs are 
done by instances of GLMCompositePresentation

Given all the discussion I can see on Glamour and GToolkit (for example 
https://discordapp.com/channels/223421264751099906/445970167495786497/648148330777542681)

 I was wondering if it's was worth the time to understand how to create custom 
object representation with Glamour or if it will be deprecated in Pharo 9, and 
what could be the alternatives.

Any advise/comment would be welcome.
