Sounds reasonable/readable to me if there is no other obvious place
somewhere. I have never used these - Ned? Anyone else?

Have anyone any good ideas about when to use a Global (like Transcript)
with instance behaviour or when to use a class with class side
behaviours? I presume that whenever there is an even remotely chance
that there might be more than *one* of these things we should use the
Global pattern instead. Right? Or at least a singleton pattern like
"SMSqueakMap default". So in this respect perhaps Imports should be a
global pointing to an instance of ... well, I can't come up with a good
name. Anyone?
