A couple of quick thoughts based on the Polymorph/TT image:

(1) Halt-once looks like it is built into the image as a mode.  It is a
VERY useful concept, but Dolphin has long had a goodie that provides the
feature as a class, used something along the lines of the following:

abandonHopeAllYeWhoRaiseEndlessWalkbacksHere
   self someUnfortunateConditionDetected ifTrue:[
      Once do:[ self halt. ].
      "
          Once reset.
      "
   ].

Any takers?  I did not write it, but I think we will find it licensed in
a friendly way, or it could be easily reconstructed, if not improved by
having registered instances, allowing independent conditional
breakpoints, and all in code, or as I like to say "done in the language,
not TO the language."


(2) The extended search sub-menu.  At the really picky level (ignore if
there is ANY problem with this), it might be nicer to pop out a submenu
vs. jumping to another menu.
