[squeak-dev] How do I convince a Workspace to stop "helping" me?

Bonk!  Of course, I _love_ Auto Enclose!  :-)

Because I'm not "typing a stream of code", I'm "composing nested expressions".

Now, when it included the less-than sign, I resented it, because it
assuemed I was typing HTML.   But for '"([ and {, they always go in
pairs.  The machine keeps my nestings correct and I can simply
right-arrow to the next outer-level and press Command+Space to expose
and "work on" that expression.  Love it.

Of the curiously strongly negative reactions, though, I was able to
glean just one tidbit of feedback (Colins).
