o  initialMenuSpecMethodSourceForApplications
return code for a menuSpec with typical stuff in it

o  initialPageMenuSpecMethodSourceForWebApplications
return code for a menuSpec with typical stuff in it

Usage example(s): 

     self initialPageMenuSpecMethodSourceForWebApplications

o  initialPageSpecMethodSourceForWebApplications
return an empty pageSpec

o  initialToolbarMenuSpecMethodSource
return a menuSpec with typical stuff in it

Usage example(s): 

     self initialToolbarMenuSpecMethodSource

o  initialWindowSpecMethodSourceForApplications
return an empty windowSpec with an initial menubar in it

Usage example(s): 

     self initialWindowSpecMethodSourceForApplications

o  initialWindowSpecMethodSourceForDialogs
return an empty windowSpec for dialogs

code generation-menus
o  createActionMethodFor: aSelector in: aClass category: aCategory redefine: redefine

o  createAspectMethodFor: aSelector in: aClass category: aCategory redefine: redefine

compilation
o  compile: theCode forClass: aClass inCategory: cat
install some code for a class.
Return the new method or nil.
If refactory browser stuff is available, the refactory tools are used to support undo

o  compile: theCode forClass: aClass inCategory: cat notifying: requestor
install some code for a class.
Return the new method or nil.
If refactory browser stuff is available, the refactory tools are used to support undo

private
o  methodNameTemplateFor: aSelector

utilities - source code
o  methodSourceForVersionMethodCVS: versionString
careful to avoid expansion by cvs here!

o  methodTemplate
return a method definition template string

o  methodTemplateForDocumentation
return a documentation method definition template string

o  methodTemplateForPackageDocumentation
return a documentation-method definition template string for packages

Instance protocol:

code generation
o  createClassTypeTestMethodsIn: aClass forClasses: subClasses
create a #isXXX test methods (I'm tired of typing)

o  createEnumTypeCodeFor: aClass

o  createExamplesMethodForApplicationModelClass: aClass
create an examples method

o  createExamplesMethodForViewClass: aClass
create an examples method

o  createInitializationMethodIn: aClass
create a #initialize methods (I'm tired of typing)

o  createInitializedInstanceCreationMethodsIn: aClass
create a #new and #initialize methods (I'm tired of typing)

o  createIsAbstractMethodIn: aClass
create a #isAbstract query method (I'm tired of typing)

o  createIsObsoleteMethodIn: aClass
create a #isObsolete query method (I'm tired of typing)

o  createParametrizedInstanceCreationMethodsNamed: selector in: aClass
create a #selector instance creation method (I'm tired of typing)

o  createPoolInitializationCodeFor: aClass

o  createRedefinedInstanceCreationMethodsIn: aClass
create a redefined #new methods

o  createSingletonPatternInstanceCreationMethodsIn: aClass usingVariable: varName
create redefined #new methods for singleton pattern.
Uses varName (typically a class-instvar) to keep the singleton instance.

o  createStandardPrintOnMethodIn: aClass
create a #printOn: method (I'm tired of typing)

o  createStartupCodeFor: aClass forStartOf: anApplicationClassOrNil

o  createVisitorMethodsIn: visitedClass andVisitorClass: visitorClass
create acceptVisitor: in visitedClass and acceptXXX in visitorClass. (I'm tired of typing)

o  createVisitorMethodsIn: visitedClass andVisitorClass: visitorClass withParameter: withParameter withSuper: withSuper

This is much like createVisitorMethodsIn:andVisitorClass:,
but:
- if withParameter is true, generates
#acceptVisitor:with:
and
#visit<CLASNAME>:with:
- if withSuper is true, generates
self visit<SUPERCLASSNAME>:[with:] in the visitXXX methods body
