How do you mean that? It is just a line with invalid syntax in a file that  
pretends to be part of the Smalltalk world (ya know: receiver and message  
selector and things). Example generated by Cuis:

!classDefinition: #Imports category: #'System-Support'!

Wouldn't it be easier to stick with the Smalltalk way of formulating  
messages, like

!nil classDefinition: #Imports category: #'System-Support'!

and then supply an implementor of #classDefinition:category: which is also  
good documentation (ya know: alt-m and alt-W and things).

?
