Very good point.

I am trying for something additive and simple -- perhaps too simple.

Environments so far assume Package Name = Category Name = Feature Name, 
which is not the case in Construction or StyledTextEditor.

Part of the exploration is thinking about Source<->Code coordination, 
invariants, and expectations.

One deeper change (as in base class shape change) I needed was to add a 
field to MethodReference which uses names rather than values to find 
Classes.

Good to play/prototype/experiment concretely to discover and think of 
these things.
