As you suggest, this is used a lot in error handlers and other places, especially in the face of internationalization.
I don't think it's a huge project to create this functionality in Squeak, and while you can't steal the VW code, I think we'd benefit from having compatible syntax, so I'd encourage you or some other Squeaker to check out the VW description.
It's usually used like in [self error:"No object at offset %i !",offset] in Objective C.
Talking about error handling, I've renamed our -ifException: to be like Squeak's -ifError: to be compatible.
