Why don't we find some period of time between major releases, and go
ahead and load Richard Harmon's ANSIfication work?  Mostly these
changesets just add ANSI-compatible messages in addition to the ones we
already have.  Some of these methods have been added individually as
people port various packages to Squeak.  It doesn't hurt anything to
switch over, except for a brief period of bug finds that ought to be
easy to fix.

Besides being standard, the package includes DateAndTime and Duration,
which are much better than Squeak's Date and Time.

By the way, the packages are extremely easy to skim through.  "browse
code" is very handy!
