I think this is far from being obvious. It could remain in the image.
Other option is to have a help class with notes with pointers to
entries like

Actually without additional explanation as in the web  link given
above it is difficult to see the need for ObjectsAsMethods.

So to summarize: This is a valuable thing which makes Smalltalk
outstanding and people should be pointed to this either by having an
example in the image or a reference in the help system or one of the
help workspaces.
