How about a test for Environments?  Create a subclass of Environment with a
singleton called, say, Grabbag.  Implement a doesNotUnderstand: method in
Grabbag that turns one-argument keyword messages such as Grabbag
theSelector: theValue into at: theSelector put: theValue and unary messages
into at: so that Grabbag theSelector is equivalent to Grabbag at:
theSelector.  Then include Grabbag in all workspaces.  From Smalltalk one
can do Grabbag at: #mine put: greedySeagull or Grabbag mineMineMine:
flockOfGreedySeagulls, but in Workspaces (with the default option of
importing Grabbag on) one can simply say dorysLocation :=
