I'd have to say that those are specific things that *you* in particular demand
from what you think Smalltalk is, and not things that are intrinsic in
Smalltalk.

For example, by those rules, GNU Smalltalk would not be "Smalltalk".  And I
think you'd find thousands of people disagreeing with you.

Please consider this as you evaluate Clamato for what it is.
