Morphic GUI Builder?

Hi all,
Lately, I've been getting really sick of hand-coding user-interface
objects. The first couple were fun but now it's just tedious. I've
been toying with the idea of writing a GUI-builder for Morphic.
Actually, all that's required is 1) the ability to add submorphs to a
particular Morph from the menu and 2) extend the "make own subclass"
option to also generate an "initialize" method recreating the Morph's
current state. I could then layout GUIs in the World and the code
to recreate it would be automatically generated.
The first is trivial to implement but the second is less-so. However,
it looks like there's some support for this sort of thing in Morphic
via the method #printConstructorOn:indent: and #constructorString.
So, before I go reimplementing class Wheel, could somebody tell me if
the code I want already exists or is in the works?
