Block temporaries are now standard ANSI Smalltalk, but was not in the original
Smalltalk-80 nor yet in Squeak.  You can probably convert all those methods
by pulling the temporaries up to the method level, i.e.

| u v |
aNumber isComplex
        ifFrue: [u := ...snip...

I'd appreciate getting the changed version back in the archive!
