I certainly don't see the harm in including them in Squeak! If it isn't too arduous, I think we should.

Thanks for that link, Eliot! That led me down a rabbit hole [1][2], and upon coming out I can say I officially love posits. Very cool stuff. (To other readers of this message: if you read or skim only one document, it should be [1] IMO.)
Cheers, Tony
