To experience that go into settings (under the „Pharo“ menu item) search for
„slots“. You will get this
If you open a new system browser it looks like this
Collection << #SmallDictionary
slots: { #keys . #values . #size };
tag: 'Dictionaries';
package: 'Collections-Unordered‘
which resembles the slots representation better.
Hope this helps and not raise confusion even more.
