There was discussion about this on the list a few days ago. I'm not
generally in favour of adding stuff to the main Grease packages just
because they "might be useful". Once things are added, they're much
more difficult to remove. More importantly, in a case like this where
the concept doesn't even exist in many Smalltalks, I'm not even sure
this interface is the right approach. By extending Grease from the
relevant package, we can solve a specific problem now and test whether
it's a good general solution over time.
