More complicated than that. I want "self inform: 'foo'" to pop up a dialog
in whatever environment is running (process-local, probably); but "'foo'
inspect" to pop up a dialog in the environment I as a developer told the
system I like. So no Seaside inspectors if I'm quite happy to go to my
image's window and do the inspect there...
