  ( cont. ) imo the more usual concern would be mistakenly removing code that was not dead. Without a design document, we might think there would be no senders of #factorial without understanding that the intention was to invoke that method on the command line. For example, $ cat fact.st Stdio stdout nextPutAll: 100 factorial printString; nextPut: Character lf.!
