> MyClass class >> #myMethod. It isn't necessary to crowd the method selector
> list with class names. Greying-out the inherited methods worked as an
> indicator.

> You also need the ability to view inherited methods up-to but not including

> interest. Filtering out methods form Object would be an example default.
