Incidentally, the first time I saw the warning dialog, it concerned me. 
 So, I traced it out until I determined that the warning was something I 
could ignore.  I didn't realize it was a "bug", but instead considered 
it a "feature".  I felt that Squeak was simply being unnecessarily 
presumptuous.

Another example (at least in my opinion) of Squeak being "unnecessarily 
presumptuous" is when you override the class #new method, it also warns 
you in a similar manner, warning you of potential dire consequences of 
overriding #new.  There are many common patterns where overriding #new 
is the norm, so who was it that decided there should be a warning?  I 
don't know.

Therefore, since I had seen these "presumptuous" warnings before, seeing 
this one about the class instance variables really didn't surprise me. 
 But I still wanted to trace it through to be sure.  Once I felt sure, I 
just ignore the warning from habit now.
