initializeToStandAlone

Set up the receiver, created by a #basicNew and now ready to be initialized, as a fully-formed morph suitable for providing a graphic for a parts bin surrogate, and, when such a parts-bin surrogate is clicked on, for attaching to the hand as a viable stand-alone morph. Because of historical precedent, #initialize has been expected to handle this burden, though a great number of morphs actually cannot stand alone. In any case, by default we call the historical #initialize, though unhappily, so that all existing morphs will work no worse than before when using this protocol.

descriptionForPartsBin

If the receiver is a member of a class that would like to be represented in a parts bin, answer the name by which it should be known, and a documentation string to be provided, for example, as balloon help. When the 'nativitySelector' is sent to the 'globalReceiver', it is expected that some kind of Morph will result. The parameters used in the implementation below are for documentation purposes only!

Answer a list of DescriptionForPartsBin objects that characterize objects that this class wishes to contribute to Stationery bins *other* than by the standard default #newStandAlone protocol
