The best thing to do would be store the created morph in some
dictionary, then clone it when you want a new instance.  Code is
much less manipulable than objects, and is not what the user
should be concerned about. So better to leave it out of the
picture entirely.

The only reason I might want code generation is to retain
compatability with squeak's limited fileout capabilities. I
would much rather just have the morph and leave it at that.
