Hi,

I've had a look at the compiler and the VM.

I can do the block closures. But don't expect to see anything before the
middle of October as I have other things that has to be done. I have the
straighforard way of doing it in mind, allocating block contexts. No fancy
optimizations.

The semantics I have in mind is as in ANSI Smalltalk, is that what is
wanted? In particular it will be possible to shadow variables in
enclosing scopes.

While at it I will restructure the compiler a little.

/Mats
