Hi Stephane,

creating 'throw away' objects seems very strange to me.

I guess what _I_ would like most from a usage point of view would be to 
have class side methods, so that it wouldn't look so much different from 
the usage of the Smalltalk variable ... (of course that's just me newbie ;-)

But having SystemNavigation default, and it being documented, would 
work, for me, too.

out how to do it right later"
