I'm sure I speak for everyone in being very grateful for the code!  My
point is not to call either of you out on this specific issue & commit.  It
is rather to ask people to put more effort into commenting the platform
code.  It belongs to all of us but is not Smalltalk, is often
platform-specific, and crosses the boundary between platform and Smalltalk,
so it is complex and mysterious, and more commentary is very helpful.

Cheers,
