Browser would allow richer UI with controls to edit, test, re-use the
code, so that there is less typing than in console. For example, instead
of typing names 6, names_x_'' etc to browse there would be buttons or
menus to explore locales, values, and do other housekeeping tasks.
In fact, I am thinking that maybe instead of shell interface, it would
be better to have a SmallTalk interface with Object Browser so you keep
all visual and browsable and only enter editing mode to make changes.
