[Cuis] 4.1 to 4.2 migration question

[Casey Ransberger]

I think parserClass was there to give everyone a hook to implement their
own parsers, because Smalltalk was (in part) a prog language research
platform. Given that Cuis aims to be a minimal system, someone may have
removed it as unnecessary. Also, when Juan changes some critical behavior,
he tends to prefer coming up with a new name for the method and associated
variables, so that folks with existing code aren't confused when their
dependencies start behaving in unexpected ways; this might also be what
happened.

It would be interesting to look at what wants to refer to parserClass.
Could be one of those packages is doing something very, very interesting:)
