I think that Squeak can include two messages (like Self) in Object that
can be very usefull.

One is:

Object>>value
    ^ self

In these way, all objects become polymorphic with blocks, so we can
type:

someVar := someCondition ifTrue:1 ifFalse:2.

instead of

someVar := someCondition ifTrue:[1] ifFalse:[2].

Actually the Squeak compiler does not permit other parameters than a
Block in these expression


The other message is:

Object>>, anObject
	^ OrderedCollection with:self with:anObject


aCollection := 1, 2, 3

just like Exception and ExceptionSet...

I think that the last is less powerfull because of curly braces...
