I though I had found a bug in Smalltalk Dolphin (sent a message to their
support group) but I think there is a problem with Squeak.  The
following piece of code:
   ';' asSymbol == #;
produces 'true' in Squeak and #; in Dolphin. The bug in Dolphin is not
answering #; but the compiler should flag this code with an error.
According to the Blue Book, #; is not a valid symbol constant. Another
example.  Now, according to ANSI, #';' is a valid string constant, so
the code:
   ';' asSymbol == #';'
in Dolphin gives 'true' but in Squeak, it is ' false'.
Who's right?
