But you can run them directly from the browser already. Type self in  
front of the selector and Cmd-D.

Common practice is also to put the example in a comment ("self  
doCoolStuff"). Then you just double-click after the first quotes  
which selects the whole expression and again you can simply "do it".

Putting that in a menu option would imply that it is safe to do on  
any class methods. Which it is not, by far.
