Squeak-dev-62 , Shout, Monticello and ToolBuilder

I have been investigating why, in a squeak-dev image, Shout fails to syntax
highlight in a MC Snapshot Browser on the working copy of a package but
correctly highlights in a snapshot browser on a version of a package.

It turns out that when creating a snapshot browser for a working copy,
ToolBuilder is used (see MCTool>>show) but when browsing a package version
ToolBuilder is NOT used (see MCTool>>showLabelled: ).

Which one of these is "correct"?

Is ToolBuilder used by anything else?

I can fix the Shout problem by making it work with ToolBuilder. But there is
little point in doing that if, in the future, ToolBuilder is not going to be
used.
