The short and brutal answer is that "safe removal" is impossible. This
is because installing code into a Squeak image will run the class side
initialize methods - and God Knows whats they do!
Having said that, we can always offer "removal" (but not promise safety)
and depending on format SM could do the most "reasonable" thing.
And one can always save the image before messing with it you know - as a
fallback!

PS. When it comes to "undo" of code modifications the Deltastreams
project gives us that - if I/we ever get the time to put in those last
hours to make it usable.
