great ! although OB seems much simpler to use than the existing Browser,
a little bit of documentation always help.

I would have asked you anyways ...
I'd like to try out stuff with it, it might be a good brower
for BrowseUnit.

Yes it is ... it might still be useful to browse a few packages at the 
time, though.
Another "feature request" would be that your PackageBrowser does
not allow yet to directly browse class extensions, as the Monticello 
Browser does
(but you can't modify stuff in the latter). But it seems that the 
"chase implementors"
facility finds the extensions .

Definitely yes. While browsing your code and your test code, I actually 
learned quite
a lot. I think that your mock classes could be released separately as 
they seem
quite nice to use on their own.

Thanks for the good work ;-)
