Daniel,

Sorry to take a while to respond to this, I just got back from a 2-week
vacation.

The VW and VA versions of the RB use filters for this.  Since there may be
legitimate reasons to break a Smalllint rule, especially the Possible Bugs
and Intention Revealing rules, you can specify for specific methods and/or
classes to be excluded from the processing of specific rules.  This greatly
increases the signal-to-noise ratio of Smalllint results.  

It would be nice to have the Squeak RB environment browsers hook into this
filter mechanism.
