Squeak doesn't use ReadOnlyVariableBinding anymore. The bindings of 
classes are instances of the ClassBinding class.
Without using separate class it's a bit cumbersome (and less OO) to decide 
if an assignment to a global variable should be allowed or not. E.g.:

 	Foo := 1.

should work if Foo is a global, but not a behavior. It should raise an 
error if it's a behavior.
