Let's not split hairs here. Obviously such tests should be declared on
the smallest reasonable scope. I'll remind you that I promoted that
method only because it was actually sent to non-morphs. But at that
point it's just silly to write, e.g., (obj isMorph and:[obj isBarMorph
and:[obj isFooBarMorph]]) instead of obj isFooBarMorph.

Knock yourself out. I think there's far bigger fish to fry with regards
to unloading code but if that's what you'd like to work on be my guest.
