IIUC, the O-Completion package is very actively maintained on SqueakSource
and is already loadable in Squeak trunk. Making a fork of this in Squeak
sounds to me like a Really Bad Idea.

What would be a good idea is to *document* how to load O-Completion
(probably in one of the welcome workspaces that appears when the image
is first opened), so that a first time user can open Squeak 4.2 and
easily see how to load this package. I just tried loading it myself,
and it loads cleanly and works as advertised. What's not to like? :)

Yes this sounds good to me.
