One thing that would help me a lot is to be able to have a decent storeOn: 
method in Morph (and subclasses). I would like to assemble my Morphs using 
the menus, drag'n'drop, etc., and then get decent constructor source code by 
using storeOn: (or something similar). However, when I use storeOn: I get a 
lot of ugly instVarAt: code, and references to Rectangles don't even work 
(because they omit the parentheses in their storeOn: method).

Of course, it's easy to fix Rectangle>>storeOn: but you still have the ugly 
instVarAt: output of the storeOn: code.
