Hi

In VW they have the following nice design idea that will simplify a lot 
of browser code.
No test anymore.

These are not the names of VW which are not really sexy 
(instanceBehavior and classBehavior). But thos ones are bad ;). Hence 
my email

Behavior>>instanceLevel
	^ self

Metaclass>>instanceLevel
	^ thisClass

Behavior>>classLevel
	^ self class

Metaclass>>classLevel
	^ self


In VW the method are defined in ClassDescription instead of Behavior. 
So this is also another point
to discuss I do not have too much to argue. It could be better indeed 
to put them in ClassDescription has
ClassDescription is about class in the system. But this means that we 
could not put instance of Behavior in Browsers.

So let us know

Stef
