I don't see Squeak opposing anything.  I see a conservative suggestion from David at the beginning followed by encouragement from Tim and I to go ahead and add even more primitives.  Did you feel opposed?

Alistair, please remove the PharoVM guard.   We squeakers would love to use this goodness too.  In fact that reminds me that we should add porting Colin's new file interface from Pharo to Squeak to what should be included in Squeak 6.
