Allen Wirfs-Brock insisted that I refer to "pools" in our (Digitalk at the time) documentation, the "dictionary" being a mere implementational detail and subject to change. One way to look at it is that the detail has, indeed, changed.
Pools are now implemented as name spaces in VW5i (in fact, the definition template has "NameOfPool" as the space holder), and their contents are statics (a kind of binding that can be either variable or constant).

Hmmm -
The implication would seem to be that we, too, should get rid of Pool
Dictionaries ;-).
