Personally I think class categories are great for aiding browsing.
Simply make sure all these "system level" classes are grouped nicely in
the categories and then I can't see the harm in having a few classes
instead of a single one.
It would even make it simpler IMHO to find things that way because you
get an extra top level "grouping". Saving the image? Hmmm, perhaps I
should look in class Image? :-)
Class SystemDictionary doesn't really ring a bell for that.
