[Cuis-dev] Renaming several fundamental Morph classes

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Great!
I’m not sure about MorphicWidget and MorphicWorld, it seems more consistent
to name subclasses of Morph with the ‘Morph’ suffix. Unless your intention
is to start naming subclasses of MorphicWidget with ‘Widget’ suffix, and in
that case Widget might be a nicer name than MorphicWidget. Just some
thoughts.
