I don't know... One of the central tenants of the way that text panes
in Smalltalk work is that DoIts are done in the context of what you're
looking at. Since a workspace really has no central object, nil works
well. In an inspector, the context is the object being inspected. In a
browser, the context is the class being browsed.

If you had a UserWorkspace, then it might make sense to have it use
the current user as the context...
