Why can't I do (aNonSmallInteger becomeFoward: aSmallInteger)?

This will open a browser on the numbered primative's source code. (Well,
not for plugins...exercise for the reader.)
Modifying the pretty printer to make this a hyperlink for where it sees
<primitive: 3> is also left as an exercise for the reader :)
Hmm. Browsing with colorPrint already does a bit of this:
SmallInteger>>*
With source:
...
<primitive: 9>
^ super * aNumber
With colorPrettyPrinting (ok, any pretty printing):
<primitive: 9> "primitiveMultiply"
^ super * aNumber
So, perhaps messing with MethodNode>>printPrimitiveOn: will help.
(It's not *so* terrible, but it will require a changeset, not a CSTOD.)
