although i personally like the smalltalk browser style much better, i 
think we shouldn't just tell 'the others' "our approach is better, so 
you have to use it" ...with all the "anything is possible with 
smalltalk" talk on the other hand. we sure have a lot of ways to 
represent all the methods for a class in a single editable stream (chunk 
format?), so why not? some people will just feel more comfortable that 
way ^_^
