Well, there is TwoWayScrollPane, if you need horizontal scrolling for your own morph, which you may already know about.

But yeah, it might be nice to have optional horizontal scrolling ability built into ScrollPane, so that PluggableListMorph, PluggableTextMorph etc. can inherit the behavior.  (There is a fair amount of code duplication between ScrollPane and TwoWayScrollPane anyway.)  With PluggableTextMorph, it would be cool to be able to use a halo to toggle between the current "wrapping" mode without horizontal scrollbars, and a non-text-wrapping mode with horizontal scrollbars.

It'd be a bit of work, though. (i.e. I'm not volunteering. :) )
