Andreas,

I'd buy that, but since new is implemented in both the superclass (object)
and its subclass (ArrayedCollection), and since the class is an abstract
superclass and shouldn't respond to new and doesn't currently implement it
and since it also solves the problem, I'm not sure I would characterize it
as outright wrong.  Another benefit of implementing new on an
abstractSuperclass is that it gives someone a clue that it is abstract.  We
implemented an abstractSuperclass method that was like subclassResonsiblity.
Does squeak have that?

That would be outright wrong. It is not #new that is a subclass 
responsibility it is #size.
