And I take it that the Environment is then accessed as a Process
instance var or something like that? Inherited from parent processes?

Because apart from the obviously necessary refactoring in
SystemDictionary (into obliteration, I'd say ;-)), if someone is going
to clean this particular closet it might be an idea to check (just check
- you're walking the route anyway, so all I'm asking is to watch out for
some extra interesting sight seeing points) whether we cannot
alltogether remove this global thing. I think there are more projects
than 'Squeak-E' which could profit from this.
