if you can't find new: up the hierarchy the things to look for are
metaclsses and the class Behaviour. In the free books Stephane Ducasse
collected Hopkins Horan provides a chapter on this topic.

It's a bit brain twisting and when reading I decided I could get by
without really knowing about this detail :-))

Maybe someone else can shed more light on this, otherwise retry on
squeak-dev.
