This means that a browser which is just like a regular natural language dictionary could be useful. A list of buttons (or a list) with A...Z and then just the list of selectors and their class and comment.
Not actually new thing. I think Ernest Micklei from the Netherlands had a web site displaying Smalltalk methods this way it seems no longer accessible.
Here is the blog entry http://ernestmicklei.com/2009/11/13/soek-goodies-st-exploring-open-source-sm... However the actual product http://soek.goodies.st/ is no longer available....
Such a list in the browser would be much handier.

Another note:
The discussion about Symbols reminds me that we actually have 'Atoms' in Smalltalk. More on this see http://live.exept.de/doc/online/english/programming/stForLispers.html
"Like Lisp, Smalltalk provides atomic character strings, called "symbols". In Smalltalk, these behave much like strings, with the exception of being read-only (i.e. their character elements cannot be changed) and being unique (i.e. they can be compared using the identity compare operator #'==', as opposed to strings, which should be compared using the equality operator #'='). The Smalltalk message "asSymbol" corresponds to the Scheme "string->symbol" function. "
