Actually it's not too zenish, for the most part you can't 'see' the
methods of any object unless they are contained in an ObjectManager (at
which point they could probably be considered 'pluggable arms').  The
'Method' view looks alot like a folder container view, but really it's a
different thing alltogether.

I vote we rename ZClasses 'MrPotatoHeads'.  A MrPotatoHead can have
pluggable brains, arms, eyes, legs, hair ears and a nose.
