I doubt that this is feasible w/ squeak, but in a perfect world, asURL
asBlaBla and friends *would* be part of String, but they would also have a
module they were associated with; so you could browse methods by class or by
module. In theory, module dependencies could be automatically computed,
then...
It's really powerful to be able to add methods to Object, sometimes; but it
would be really neat if you could take those methods *OFF* too :)
