Default labels

In cases where there is an MASelectorAccessor, I'd like to make the default label = `the accessor capitalized unCamelCased`. It seems the overwhelmingly common use case is `... #accessor: #dateCreated; #label: 'Date Created'`.

The current behavior is
    MADescription>>#label
        ^ self propertyAt: #label ifAbsent: [ self class defaultLabel ]
Is anyone using (or can state a plausible use case for) this subclass-customizable class-side #defaultLabel?

If no one is relying on the existing behavior, I'll make the change...

Great idea, thanks, will use it.

We commonly do "Date created" though. Would be great if the
splitIntoWords / unCamelCase can be customisable...

No, don't need it.

Okay, let me think about how to fit it into the design...

I finally implemented this in my GH fork. Feel free to poach (e.g. Stephan
for QCMagritte)!
