Yes, you're right, I'm still thinking what to do about that. I really
hate those dynamic "let me just peek in my namespace" Smalltalk at:s. I
think the compiler should slap people on the wrist when they write such
code... OTOH, I don't have a better way of implementing Ned's fix at the
moment. Therefore, I'm stalling for a bit, and will probably give in and
publish a version with Ned's fix soon.
