Because smalltalk methods require so little code that overt-delegation is
both easy to author and to understand.

If on the other hand, one needs to repeatedly tell the compiler what types
of data shall be used used, and then insert numerous delimiters, such
delegation becomes onerous... and ... then one would beg for a compiler
solution.
