I've never got around to doing an enhancement that seems like a simple and
useful idea. Somebody playing with UI stuff might like to try this:-
In popup queries (like the one you get from a Browser whilst adding a new item
in the protocol pane) it would be useful to have a popup menu of common
options. Things like
instance creation
initialization
accessing
enumerating
mumbling
thingies

- perhaps even dependent on the current class of the browser.
Sort of "FillInTheBlank request:'name' initialAnswer: 'Muttley' commonOptions:
'Dastardly/Zooty/Rebo/Kosh/Kenny/Cartman' "
I'm fed up with typing 'initialization'. I must have typed it a gazillionplex
times over the last fifteen years!
