I note ObjectsAsMethodsExample in the trunk image. Given the much more featureful http://www.squeaksource.com/ObjectsAsMethodsWrap/, should this guy really be in the image? (I guess it's OK, in the sense as being a minimal working example of something not obvious.)
Maybe it could go into its own unloadable package?

Frank I think this is far from being obvious. It could remain in the image. Other option is to have a help class with notes with pointers to entries like
http://www.lshift.net/blog/2012/08/31/intercession-without-source-changes
Actually without additional explanation as in the web link given above it is difficult to see the need for ObjectsAsMethods.
So to summarize: This is a valuable thing which makes Smalltalk outstanding and people should be pointed to this either by having an example in the image or a reference in the help system or one of the help workspaces.

Fair enough. The ObjectsAsMethodWrappers library (which the post you mention uses) is a lot more featureful, but then again, you don't necessarily need all those features, and certainly not in an example. I withdraw my objection :)
