It is, and I found it accidentally via random flailing (I need to write a book on Programming by Random Flailing. It’s evidently what most of the commercial software world does) and whilst it is just fine as a quick and dirty approach it really isn’t what a helpful IDE should do. After all the typical related code is listing the selector in a way that has always meant a message being sent by this code and find it by listing implementors. We can do better.

That sounds like a decent start. It’s like Traits and now Environments; good ideas screwed up by being incomplete and untooled.
