It is not clear to me what you call DSL here. In a dynamic language such
as Smalltalk I do not see a clear distinction between a DSL and a protocol.
As for the package I linked to, I use it extensively in my main project
(muO) so it doesn't feel like a DSL to me at all: it just implements
functions as objects and make it easy to use them.
Here is a code example:
GenericInputMorph>>acceptMorph: aMorph
"Sent by the drop reporter."
morphTest ifNotNil:
[(morphTest <~ aMorph) ifFalse: [^ self]].
textPane setText: (((self morphicLambda <~ aMorph)
ifNil: [^ self]) <= m) lambdaStoreString.
morph := aMorph.
dropReporter smallLabel: aMorph name.
textPane hasUnacceptedEdits: true
Do you see a DSL there ?
