If you have no place, make one:

  Object subclass: Thingie [ 
    Thingie class [ 
      initialize [ 
        super initialize.
        'class init' printNl
      ]
    ]
    initialize [ 
      'object init' printNl
    ]
  ]

  Eval [
    Thingie initialize
  ]

That's the way it is done in the Seaside packages, for example.

I wonder if that could/should be folded away by the loader,
since it is done automatically in the other Smalltalks I know.
