[Vm-dev] Re: [squeak-dev] Obtaining a current context in primitive

[Eliot Miranda]

Igor,

   surely if you're writing primitives that do context manipulation these
should be internal to Interpreter, just like the block value and
process/semaphore primitives.  IMO its a really really bad idea to expose
contexts through InterpreterProxy.
