"Bug"
"Wrong:"
| onePlusEpsilon epsilon |
onePlusEpsilon _ 1.0 basicAt: 2 put: 1; yourself.
epsilon _ onePlusEpsilon - 1.0.
epsilon = 0.0 -> true

"OK:"
| onePlusEpsilon |
onePlusEpsilon _ 1.0 basicAt: 2 put: 1; yourself.
onePlusEpsilon inspect
"and in the inspector"
self - 1.0 = 0.0 -> false

Very weired...
