#at:put: currently just delegates to #bind:to:, which is not legacy API.
The method where ClassBinding enters the picture is Symbol>>#=>. Maybe the
decision whether to create a class binding or a global variable binding
would have to be determined at another place (not by the environment), such
as ClassBuilder>>#name:inEnvironment:subclassOf:type:instanceVariableNames:classVariableNames:poolDictionaries:category:unsafe:
(not only the selector is huge in this one...).

But then again, checking whether a binding is the "home" binding of a class
can also be done via binding key == class name and: [bindingsEnvironment ==
class environment], as written before. This does not rely on the type of
the binding object, which I find more appealing.

Kind regards,
Jakob
