Yay! I suppose this make Cuis the first Smalltalk to support tally counts. I 
noticed you also fixed 1.0e+2 to return 100.0.

Just to keep noise levels down, you may want to drop "No real (non-optimized) 
closures". When there is nothing to report, report nothing.

Could this be generalized in Object? e.g.
is: aSymbol
  ^self class = (Smalltalk at: aSymbol) or:  [ super is: aSymbol ]

isA: aClass
  ^self class = aClass or: [ super isA: aClass ].


Use of ALT+arrow to cycle through windows is a nice addition for keyboarders 
like me. I would have preferred to use ALT+SPACE (or one of special character 
keys) to do the same because arrow keys are placed differently on different 
keyboards.

A nicely thought out update. Thanks .. Subbu
