It is surprisingly hard to keep categories consistent.  If there is

Richard,

There is Browser>>#categorizeAllUncategorizedMethods that works this way in Squeak but for uncategorized methods.

But then, a tag-set would be more useful than just single categorization. It doesn't matter how accurate a category is, there will always be someone who will find an equally justifiable reason for putting a method into a different category ;-).

Is it possible to have a pragma or dummy method (say tags:) to list tags that could be extracted to facilitate searches? It should not have any runtime impact.
