The Class Designer is a very complex application, and I'm the only
one working on it. Up until now it only improves when I create an app
that uses it; now that you're using it, it's good that you're finding
these things.

I debated (with myself) whether to make the editor a single page for
all methods, or set it up to edit one method at a time. I chose the
latter because that would enable entering the method signature
automatically.
Currently the code doesn't check if you modify the method name inside
the editor, mainly because it never occurred to me that someone would
do that!

If you cut all the code for a method, and then switch to another
method, that method is deleted. IOW, empty methods are not kept. You
can then create a new method with your new name, and paste in the old
code (deleting the old def line, of course).

Non-empty methods have an asterisk by their name. They are also
sorted to the top automatically.

I guess I have a different concept of "defined". Example:
'afterInit()' is defined for all classes, but by default is empty.
This seems like a very minor point, and not one worth spending time on.
