because then you have a fixed number of icons and you cannot dynamically load 
more.
You can create methods ad-hoc, but I do not like this in general… and you do 
not have any gain between doing:

Smalltalk ui icons iconNamed: #something

and doing: 

Smalltalk ui icons somethingIcon.

ThemeIcons>>#somethingIcon
        ^ self iconNamed: #something


So yes… adding a selector-per-icon is not recommended because it does not 
scales.
