Classic smalltalk has both seperator "." and terminator "!".
GST 3.0 syntax tries to do away the terminator "!" by using [] around
method bodies. The behavior of the gst REPL is the compromise
between the two. I like that because it is pactical, unlike eg. erlang
REPL that always demands a terminator. However, it is not the same with
a fileIn syntax; you cannot be the same with 2 distinct syntaxs at the
same time.
