Another Morphic question

Thanks for the pointer.  This brings up some things about Squeak I find 
disturbing.

1) Why was the reference not in the class comments?  If you are going 
to have external documentation, at least reference it from the source.
2) The referenced page talks about this working in 2.9.  Has it been 
touched since then?
3) Should something this old really be part of the current release 
without someone updating the docs, and possibly commenting the classes?

There is so much "stuff" in Squeak that are examples, experiments, and 
are not currently in use, it is very hard to identify the parts that 
are really current or of interest.  Yet another vote for a small kernel 
and then identified packages that can be loaded.
