I think Squeak Central is looking at my implementation of the Fundamental,
Valuable, Numeric, and  Date and Time protocols for possible inclusion in
their standard release.

The Exception protocol is already included.

I haven't finished the Collection, Stream, and FileStream protocols yet.

If they decide to include my ANSI methods I would use pretty print to
reformat the code from my idiosyncratic code formatting when I create a
change set for them if needed.

It will probably require some work on existing code because of the slightly
different behavior specified by the ANSI standard (see the discussion on the
#= method).
