I completely agree with Jim. We should thank David for sharing
his knowledge. Smallscript is a cool system and definitely the 
way for Smalltalk to go. Especially David's work on modularization,
namespaces, mixins and language integration. Download it and take a closer
look: www.smallscript.net

The Syntactic-sugar may be a little bit confusing first - but 
after a while you will notice that it is pure Smalltalk. 
Squeak can profit a lot from Davids work.

I, for one, appreciate you sharing with us your experience. To me, this
is a
difficult subject with lots of ramifications that aren't immediately
obvious, and you have been more than generous in sharing your (working)
solution and time.

Thanks,
