Hi Stef,

OK. I understood the original reason.

But now that we have a nice SystemNavigation class, it is possible to
minimize dependencies by writing a code like this:

--
Behavior>>browse
    SystemNavigation default browseClass: self
    
SystemNavigation>>browseClass: aClass
    self browserClass ifNil: [self error: 'Browser is not installed'].
    self browserClass newOnClass: aClass
--

"1 beep" is a really weird thing is Squeak. 
I appreciate KCP work. But "1 class browse" seems quite natural to me.
(We are using "1 inspect", not "Inspector openOn: 1".)

Cheers,
