Hello Chris,
the var name classes it could assume are a pain to get right post implementation. For some things its very difficult to get right (and that's only structural description,) the really hard part is "why?"
I think we may very well cause the sources file and change sets to become huge. So what? :-)

You are doing a fine, contentious job Dwight! More power to you and many thanks from me!
Although Mr. Rovira has some good points, a lot of formalism can be added post-factum. In particular, I think an auto-comment-generator (see Dan & Vassili's ideas in that direction) should be added to Squeak _in_addition_to_ the traditional, hand-crafted comments. Then we'll get our cake and eat it too.
Thanks for your helpful additions to Squeak!
