I'm not convinced. (Object >> #name) senders 1) works only if you know a class that implements #name 2) technically it won't return the senders of (Object >> #name) but the senders of (AnyOtherClass >> #name) (Object >> #name) implementors 1) same as above, you must first know an implementor... (Bag >> #at:) super /superChain is a bit better, but there is again no garanty that Bag implements at:, still I might want to see all implementors in superclasses. Nicolas
