Sorry about subclassing from the wrong class instead of Object.
When I posted this change set from Squeaks "mail to list" function, I put a
descriptive message in the body of the Celeste e-mail window that didn't appear
to make it to the list. Perhaps I forgot to accept it before sending??
Anyway, what I had said was it appeared to manifest only in the debugger, so I
concluded that, actually, it does not appear to be a bug in the VM itself.
Sorry about that confusion.
I had tears of joy streaming down my cheeks when I finally realized the way out
of the pain (moving the block-temp out), but I thought I would still post it.
So, when I use a block temp, does the Compiler just move it up as a method temp
in the compiled representation, and that's why the decompiler didn't know it
was a block temp? That would seem to help with compatibility with other
Smalltalks, but not necessarily an optimization, right?
