I'm still looking for people to help cleaning the PopUpMenu plague.
the idea would be to change PopUpMenu -> ToolBuilder
but this is not the solution.
the PopUpMenu should be converted into a Warning
and lot of PopUpMenu should be removed.
Now what is the answer to pavel question?

Sometimes you want to stub out a tools to make them inaccessible. Or

The proposed solution is more a symptom fix than a real solution.
You want to make the number of access points as small as possible,
so you have e.g. one point where to turn off the debugger. By that I
mean turning off the debugger and not trick the system by stubbing
it out.
Same for access to Transcript. There shouldn't really be *any*
direct reference to Transcript to begin with, but rather a small but
effective logging API, e.g. Josef's toothpick.
We Smalltalkers (I just happen to reply to Igor here, I'm including
myself in this remark too ;-) ) tend to use magic tricks just
because we can, but that doesn't mean it is good engineering.
