Ok, and that will never happen.

Mike's proposal is out there for at least 8 months, and nobody as yet
has done a better proposal, yet argue against it.

This is the typical thing in the Squeak community: Not doing the  
practical
next step, because "something better" could be done. That will then  
never
be implemented, thus then nothing happens.
