I think these arguments indicate that there is a need to:
1. Separate the concept of answering an object from the concept of
terminating execution of a method
2. Not require that a method answer an object at all
3. Allow a method to answer multiple objects
I like the concept using ^ to terminate a method (as a shortcut for
"thisContext terminate"), but only if I can also do:
thisContext answer: 1.
thisContext answer: 2.
^
....and provided that ^ really does mean stop evaluation of this method
without returning *any* object (as opposed to implicitly returning self).
