Hmm. Methods *living* in the wrong place need to have their distinguished
callers tested. Hmmm.

Actually, extentions to SmallLint might be the way to go. That way I could
check my code to see if it risk breakage with the moved stuff....

Or leave deprecated stub methods that recorded who called them. Then after
two or three generations, one can remove the stubs (but leave them
loadable, perhaps?)

Yes. Celeste mostly, at the moment. It really needs to be split up, and
some of the classes it depends upon (E.g., MailDB) need, themselves to be
refactored.
