I would vote against it because slowly we would get this plague in the system.

Something like

self performIfExists: #blah

would reduce the noise a lot :)

Then in this methods, we do what we want ^^

Hi

I'm in favor killing all the respondsTo:

acceptTextMorphs
       "Accept any text morphs except for those that have no edits."

       self allMorphs do: [:p |
               ((p respondsTo: #accept) and: [
                       (p respondsTo: #hasUnacceptedEdits) and: [
                               p hasUnacceptedEdits]]) ifTrue: [p accept]]

They're a step up from #isKindOf:. It looks like you need is something
that says "does this object respond to a particular set of messages
(i.e., a Protocol)?". (No, Nicolas, I don't mean a message category!
:) )

But in this particular case the solution looks like making a
#insertADecentNameHere that particular classes of things can implement
as "^ self hasUnacceptedEdits ifTrue: [self accept]"
