Fuel is a very nice piece of work and I appreciate the effort to support Squeak.
Good design, good implementation, good documentation, what's not to like :-)

One issue in loading from Metacello #stable, FLBenchmarks class>>generateMiniSerializationVersionsComparison has this:

	Array with: 1 with: #1 with: '1'.

But for Squeak in needs to be:

	Array with: 1 with: #'1' with: '1'.
	
I can't run the tests in Squeak, but the Fuel package itself seems fine.

For RemoteTask (in package CommandShell) I can do "RemoteTask useFuelSerializer"
and all works as expected, with cooperating images exchanging serialized objects
with Fuel.

Thanks,

Dave
