The fact that I would potentially need to hack the compiler to write my little app raised a huge red flag for me, which indicated that I was probably not approaching the problem correctly. I was not reaching Smalltalk ZEN. As such, I approached the issue from a different angle and am happy to say that i accomplished my goal.

I went from ground zero with Smalltalk to accomplishing my goal in just a few days and am actually quite pleased with the outcome. I have not had the same early success in other languages I have tried ... So i am very pleased with Smalltalk and its development environment.
So ... all you need to do is hack the Compiler :)

  And it takes two new methods and four very minor overrides in some
subclasses.
