Incidentally, there's a simple protocol which allows a Morph subclass to specify whether or not it wishes to be listed in the "new morph" menu -- it's Morph class #includeInNewMorphMenu.

Simply reimplement this method to read "^ false" in any Morph subclass which you want to exclude from the 'new morph' menu.

Quite a few morphs that shouldn't really live "out in the open" ought to be excluded from the menu in this fashion, but have not been -- oversights which, stirred up by this thread, we will probably remedy in an update before too long.
