Proposal: Add convenient method String >> #informUserDuring:

We could already say
        'Squeak is great!' displayProgressFrom: 9 to: 17 during: [:bar |
                bar value: 9.
                1 second wait.
                bar value: 16.
                1 seconds wait.
                bar value: 17].
Now we can also say
        'Squeak is great!' informUserDuring: [2 seconds wait].

  HOW IT WORKS (Try this in any other language :-)
  Since your code (the last 2 lines in the above example) is in a block,
  this method gets control to display its heading before, and clean up
  the screen after, its execution.
  The key, though, is that the block is supplied with an argument,
  named 'bar' in the example, which will update the bar image every
  it is sent the message value: x, where x is in the from:to: range.
