fromString: default method

Squeak has half a dozen methods with the name  fromString:
with the exact same code and I am about to add another
for my project.  The code is:

fromString: aString

        ^ self readFrom: (ReadStream on: aString)


Should not this method be in  Object  and all classes with the
exact same code remove the code and inherit this method
instead?

Regards,

Ralph Boland

Class-side, right?
