[Newbies] Anonymous subclasses?

[Casey Ransberger]

Got what I needed done (thanks Bert!) This is what I went with:

metaclass := Metaclass new
superclass: Some class;
methodDictionary: MethodDictionary new;
setFormat: Some class format;
yourself.

theme := metaclass new
superclass: Some;
methodDictionary: MethodDictionary new;
setFormat: Some format;
yourself.
