[ANSI-Smalltalk] squeakers

[Michael Klein]

Tests are no substitute for a specification....

Case in point... how many test of addition are needed to specify
what addition is supposed to do?  Both serve a (different) purpose.


Also, to get Smalltalks out of the big-ball-of-mud syndrome,
I would hope for a modular spec.... a small core kernel library,
and extension libraries which can be adopted in a particular context.

For instance, it would be a shame for an embedded Smalltalk to not be
"standard" if it didn't implement FileStream simply because there are  
no files.
