Yesterday I was going to ask about this behavior, which has been
nagging me for some time. I feel better reading it isn't only me who's
sensitive to this friction.

I don't understand why it is like this, but I assume it is because of
a common behavior of browsing the receiver object in the stack frame
without considering particular cases like Object>>doesNotUnderstand:

I'll be happy if you find a way to implement it, as a System Option or
via a shortcut modifier.

Regards!
