I second that.

Furthermore, typical examples require more than one liners, and these should be factored out separately.

I really like the one liners that you can find im some method comments, like in Color class>>#wheel:

if you are new to pharo and start exploring the system, it makes fun to see these little one lines and

just execute it. (even if they aren't onelines like in some method in class Form).
