In some cases I created more general class that contains "kernel"
implementation. The Morphic then simply adds its override (now in the
class hierarchy meaning) to the original class. Such example is the
BasicChangeSet class.

Then I created methods like specificOperation1: in the Object
interface. When the Kernel calls it, it does nothing. Morphic adds its
implementation of this general method. It's about in 24 cases.

I hope that we will be able to replace it with better and more general
refactorings soon.
