Hello,

In a lot of algorithms it is useful to have a marking key that is bigger than 
all other elements of a list or another data structure. In other languages 
you usually use maxInt and so on for that, but that is not appropriate for 
squeak. I was very surprised that I didn't see any in the class browser -- 
how come?
In fact there really isn't anything, I attached my fix for it.

Btw, can you help me out? In Java you have getters and setters. In ruby you 
have ? and plain methods. Whats the counterpart in squeak? I want to two 
methods that:
a) set a flag
b) return the flag.

I do not want one to toggle the flag, cos for that i have another method.
(I find a method called smallest: aBoolean ridiculous. I want two: smallest 
and biggest, one to write and one to read. How to do that?)

regards,

nick
