There I found a problem with asInteger: According to the x3j20 ansi standard Float>>asInteger and Double>>asInteger should be equivalent to sending rounded. You can download the final draft revision for free: wiki.squeak.org/squeak/uploads/172/standard_v1_9-indexed.pdf.
I tried that in squeak 4.2: 1.11 asInteger 1 1.99 asInteger 1 1.11 rounded 1 1.99 rounded 2 Astonishing is the result as well: (0.6 / 0.2) asInteger 2 That seems to be the conversion Problem of odd decimals to binary, well known from most of the programming languages. Here another experiment: 2.999999999999 asInteger 2 2.999999999999 rounded 3 2.999999999999999 asInteger 2 2.9999999999999999 asInteger 3 Is squeak/Smalltalk not x3j20 ansi standard compliable?
