Indeed. I'm thinking like in pure file-based languages where you want to
organize the file arbitrarily and use lexical scope. I'm not entirely
clear how variable pools are resolved in other Smalltalks anyway. Here
class variables just seemed like a nice way to emulate constants for
synopsis, help text, and so on :)
