This _is_ a feature of Metacello in the sense that if a repository: is
not included in a `Metacello new` expression, the default repository is
used, but with that said, it is clearly not used very heavily:)
I still think it would be useful to be able to write:
Metacello new baseline: 'xxxx'; load
and get the proper project loaded for the image, but I can't force folks
to use this form --- especially if the default isn't correct;)
It's still not clear whether folks have actually begun using the
scripting API as much as they should --- the old way of sending load to
a ConfigurationOf is at least 3 years out of date ...
