Hi,

Would you please consider reviving #browse in 3.7?

I'm now writing a Squeak book in Japanese.
Squeak 3.7 will be a reference image for the book.

But I do not want to write phrases such as:
---
To open a Browser for aClass, you can:

    Browser fullOnClass: aClass.

But to open a HierarchyBrowser, you have to:

    HierarchyBrowser newFor: aClass.

---
It is not so cool, I think...

I would rather prefer to write such as:

    aClass browse.
    aClass browseHieraychy.
    aClass inspect.
    aClass explore.

Because in Smalltalk, you can directly talk to 'object' to know him better...
