hidden methods idea

Hello,
Currently when I have a class in Squeak, and when I have some methods
that I consider private, then I put them in a category named "Support" or
"Private" or something like that. Just to make clear that those methods
shouldn't be used.
Now, I was just thinking that it may be a good idea that you could have a
name starting with a dot (.) and then the category would be hidden. e.g.
a category named ".Support" would be hidden in the browser.
There should be a flag to show the hidden methods, of course. Just like
"ls" on the Unix file system and "ls -a", in fact.
Such a gadget may be a nice addition ? Or is there already a trick to do
something like this ?
