[Squeakland] A somewhat silly suggestion for Andreas

[Darius Clarke]

"Pragma" is not too bad.

But I think external data streams to external non-Squeak systems should
be called a "Dogma" (Greek: "law"). So when updating them by sending
meassages is not automatic it is because the others systems are
"dogmatic".  :^)

Cheers,
Darius

I embarrass myself in public regularly.  I thought you all had noticed.
