Hi claudio

What would be great is to redesign from scratch a collection library  
or build on top of the library of damien to make sure that
one day we could replace the stream library. The results of Nile are  
showing that traits are really worth. The design is nice
and the composition of traits working well.

I would be really interested in learning from a new collection  
library. Damien did something good:
	- he started to write a lot of tests
	- then fixed some bugs
	- then design nile so that the tests passed as well on nile and the  
squeak lib.
