Andres,

Why not to use #& and #| for and & or operations?

Your source code:
  ^self class new: value + (self negated and: aProbablity negated) value

Can be compiled successfully in other Smalltalk environments
 (like Smalltalk Express and Visual Smalltalk).

I think that Squeak parser must not try to optimize #and:
 if the argument is not a block node.

Ale.

Yes.

Oh, boy... probabilities look so ugly without them...  anyway, I chose 
andWith:, orWith: and so. Do you know of any nicer selectors?
