It's fascinating how my compadres whom I've known on-line for so long
would stretch their logic so thin just to pile-on Chris.

I'm kind of stunned.  I'm just trying to get 4.5 ready and asking for
help with Environments because that's what's been holding up the
release.  I have little interest in Environments myself, but after no
progress for the last two months, I figure for the sake of the release
I'll work to fix it up myself.

This VERY FIRST tiny little refactoring improvement simply to help me
read and understand the code, and bring it to consistent standard and
quality with the rest of the image, is met with confused resistance
from Frank.  He _totally_ misunderstood and misstated what was being
done (he thought it was set:, set:, set:, which is wrong).  Suddenly,
Colin is alive and jumps in with "Frank is right" and confirms his own
mutual mis-understanding.  After banging my head on the wall for 3
days showing why Frank was NOT right, now Levente piles on.

Do you all understand you're actually fighting to _defactor_ the code?
 My god who are you poeple?!

I thought we had settled this issue about #new and #initailize YEARS
ago!  Let's see, yep.  Behavior>>#new:

   "Noury Bouraqadi 8/23/2003 14:51 · instance creation · 93
implementors · in no change set · "

But hey, if you guys want to lurch back to 2002 and your code repeat
itself over and over again with ^self basicNew initializeWith... or
^self basicNew initialize in every constructor, go right ahead.
There's nothing like "standards" especially when there are so many to
choose from, huh?

I just want to make progress on 4.5.  Am I the only one?  Now I feel
handcuffed -- so what now?
