Adding a "define" option to the DoesNotUnderstand exception dialog...

I've seen this before in VisuallWorks Smalltalk and liked it, and was
wondering if anyone had written a package to add the functionality, when
a DoesNotUnderstand exception is thrown the dialog prompts to terminate,
debug etc.  what would be handy is a "Define" option which opens the
class browser to said class, focused on the method source tab, with a
template method stub of somthing like:


nameOfMessageNotUnderstood
    "This message sent from ClassWhoSent::methodWhoSent was created by
    the stub generator."

    self halt.

I think this would be a great productivity gain, and probably shouldn't
be hard to implement, given what I've seen of Dolphin already...?

If you're using Dolphin pro version with the refactoring features, it's
available from within the debugger.  Right-clicking on the top entry in the
left-hand pane should give you the option to define it.

Perhaps you are aware of the existing feature and just want a faster way to
it, but if not then open the debugger after a DNU then look on the "Debug"
menu and "Implement in" sub menu and you may find what you want.

Hit Debug, right click on the first line of the stack pane, there's a
