I like the idea to get that included into the base image!

Browsing trough some images of recent Squeak (and VW) projects showed 
that I've added the messages #new and #initialize to about all my 
classes that are direct subclasses of Object. 

I don't see a reason why not to re-factor this, remove that ugly 
duplicated code and that source for bugs: I do remember several times 
when I accidentally wrote 'self new' instead of 'super new' or when I 
misspelled the message-name #initialize.

	new
		^super new
			initialize;
			yourself

	initialize

I hope that this is the last time, I've ever written those lines ;)
