EventInterceptorMorph 1alpha is now on SqueakMap.

***Requires SendTreeExplorer*** 
 
Have you ever wanted to trace some code which is part of the Morphic
UI process, or code triggered by it?  Had trouble trying to trace it
in the debugger because interacting with the UI changes what you're
trying to watch?  EventInterceptorMorph may be able to help!
 
EventInterceptorMorph is a tool which, when activated, begins
listening to the hand's event stream. When an even of the appropriate
type is encountered, the EventInterceptorMorph intercepts it and
traces the dispatch of the event using MessageSendTree, and opens a
SendTreeExplorer on the results. This is useful for debugging parts of
the UI process which are otherwise difficult to trace.

It's alpha.  It needs a total UI overhaul.  On the other hand, it
seems to be basically working, and I think the potential is great.
Feedback would be very much appreciated.
