That's a real relief. But before I'm too relieved, is there anyone else who
still thinks that dynamic scoping should be part of the Squeak, Squeak-E, or
Croquet efforts (or any decent oo language, for that matter)? If so, I'd
love to hear the reasons. I thought there were many valid reasons myself
once, and I'm eager to help you guys avoid the mistake we almost made.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer these at the rate I'd like -- I
haven't even answered the ones already posted to the Squeak-E thread.
But I do expect to.
