Making a textual snapshot of a Smalltalk class, editing it, and
filing back in would be roughly equivalent to printing a photograph,
editing it with a pencil, and scanning back into the computer. The
class browser is a view onto the live class object, even though it
appears to be a categorizing text editor. It's not.
