[BUG] Inconsistent checking of new instance variables for conflicts

When adding a new instance variable to a class, Squeak appears to search the methods to see if any blocks are included that also define the new instance variable.  If a block exists with that instance variable, it raises an error, asking the user to fix the method.

Unfortunately, Squeak does not check the methods themselves to see if a local variable is defined that conflicts with the new instance variable.  It would be very nice if it did perform this check.

I have not looked into where this checking may occur, or what would be needed to fix this.

Thanks,
Chris Cunningham
