Notes
(0011356 - 238 - 262 - 262 - 262 - 262 - 262) Damien Cassou 10-19-07 07:05	I've integrated your changes into ECompletion-dc.89. Could you please verify if the merge is ok (particularly ECTypedModel>>initializeSelectorsFor: because your change was based on an old version of this method). Thanks for your work
