Calling things by their name.

Unfortunately, putting a good AI engine in Squeak may defeat the purpose of
reducing the image size. But that may be what's required to infer the param
names from the compiled code. t1, t2, etc. show up when a decompiler
generates Squeak code from the compiled method, in case the source code is
not available (e.g., if you abandoned source/changes files or in some cases
of doIts).

All implementors of #at:put: use intuitive names for the params.
