The Evaluate Service on MacOS X needs more vocabs ready

[MacOS X 10.4.11 Intel, git factor 1 or 2 days old.]

I entered "20 20 * ." in a Mac program that supports the use of
the Services menu. Marked it and after Services -> Factor ->
Evaluate Selection I get

<interactive>:1
20 20 * .
       ^
Word not found in current vocabulary search path
"delegate" f
"name"     "*"

The following restarts are available:

:1    Use the word IN: math MATH: * ( x y -- z )

Type :help for debugging help.

Try adding a USE: there

USING: math prettyprint ;
20 20 * .

Do you think the evaluate service should use a default set of  
vocabularies, just like the listener does?

Yes.

"Evaluate Selection" and "Evaluate in Listener" would produce the
same output. And I remember that "Evaluate Selection" once worked
with a broader set of default vocabularies.

It's a nice service and it should be as convenient as possible.

If only to impress people in demonstrations.

Default set would be nice.

I've browsed the code a bit and I see two possible solutions:

1.) A new eval>string (or eval without parse-fresh) that includes
more vocabs.

2.) Prepending a fat "USING: ... ; " string in
extra/ui/cocoa/tools/tools.factor before calling eval>string

Solution 2 seems easy, but feels strange.
