Yes, this is a good point.
But, not all Squeakers have a SM account... And it relies on developers 
discipline.
Besides, when I read some method versions, I can't figure-out who's the 
developer just from initials.
It's heavy to go back to the workspace and evaluate the expression you 
gave.

Cheers,
