[squeak-dev] Preferences and Environments

Hi all,

Here's a weird consequence of environments: since many of our preferences
are now created via pragmas, and environments allows the "same" class to be
loaded into more than one environment at the same time, we have the
potential for a preference to have different settings in different
environments.

AFAICT that should be fine, except at the GUI level, where we need to make
it clear what's going on when a preference exists in more than one
environment. That ought to be a project for 4.6, as it's too big to
shoe-horn into 4.5.

In the meantime, what do you think? Are the problems that
environment-specific preferences would cause? Is there something cool we
could do with it?
