      Indeed, although for what it's worth there's no lingering debate 
there on this particular issue[1]. ;)


-C

[1]

      Namely, the short form of...

      Array with: #foo with: #bar

is...

      #(foo bar)

as in Smalltalk-80, and the short form of...

      Array with: #foo with: true

is...

      {#foo. true}


      But I suspect the appropriate standard use of curly brackets 
across multiple dialects is a whole other morass. :)
