Yes. To a fair extent in Self, if you pulled, eg, a listPane out of a browser,
I think it was not that difficult to use it for something else. We need to
review at how widgets are composed in order to maximize this flexibility. I
think Fabrik is the best way to do this for a significant class of apps, but
iit is made for it. It may be possible to go fairly far with even the simpler
morphs. Another example is tearing menu items off to make buttons, and
dropping buttons in menus to make new items. That kind of thing.
