And this is exactly the power of the Smalltalk system.  In traditional 
languages/systems (sometimes know as "the cult of the dead"), it is easy to 
see what the architecture of the system is, but it is always hard to 
visualize what the system looks like at runtime.  In Smalltalk this line 
starts to blur, and sometimes even fades entirely.
