Unless I'm missing something, I quickly stopped using it because it
didn't let me *choose* which method to follow in either the senders
or implementors like a standard browser does.  I often look at a method,
see a few methods I don't totally get, and ask for *senders* of them
not implementors.  So it's the wrong direction for me.
