In Smalltalk-80 the list browsers used to consume a list of strings of the
form 'ThisClass>selector' or 'ThatClass class>selector' which was a pain in
the behind to parse.  Some of these vestiges still exist in
SystemNavigation.  In our image at Qwaq I've been modifying the last of
these to answer MethodReference.

What I find annoying is that MethodReference understands methodSymbol
instead of selector, and actualClass instead of implementingClass ;)

You're welcome.  Getting to know SystemNavigation, especially things like
browseAllSelect: and combining the results of several queries is worth it
because they can really help in browsing, source generation etc.
