Not sure.  The 4 methods I added are not a REPL.  That's not something
I myself need, but a sophisticated command-line interface to Squeak
sounds neat and novel.  I don't think I've ever really fully
understood the case where I'd want to _interact_ with Smalltalk via a
command-line (on an on-going, ad-hoc basis).  It seems like I always
either want full GUI interaction, or simple job control that can
properly respond to errors and nothing more..

Normally since the scripts are external, they won't be traceable
anyway.  However, since I'm just now starting to include my scripts in
the image (so they have benefit of being _documented_ and under MC's
control), perhaps #run: would be better..
