This is a good idea I like that.

It could be good to see if the improvement that henryk made 
to introduce a regsitration mechanism into the FileList could be worked there 
too.
This way some problems of the major shrink wrong references 
would be handled as well.

I hope that the Squeak World Tour people (john and joseph in particular)
will be there too.
