I was playing around with the idea of using stuff like in jQuery, where we
do have the  '$' function that would do a lot of things.

But one cannot create such elements as

SlotClassBuilder>>validateClassName
"Validate the new class name. Raise warning if invalid."

name
detect: [ :c | (c isAlphaNumeric or: [ c = $_ ]) not ]
ifFound: [ :c | InvalidGlobalName signal: 'Invalid character: ''' , c
printString , '''' for: name ].
name first canBeGlobalVarInitial
ifFalse: [ InvalidGlobalName signal: 'Class name does not start with a
valid Global Var Initial' for: name ]

doesn't let us.

Is there a reason for that (ok, we have $ for chars, and #, ... and other
things but still).

TIA
Phil
