I always enjoyed the Symbol/Block polymorphism because I thought it was such
a clever and visible example of the power of Smalltalk, and, let's face it,
I'm lazy and enjoyed saving a few key strokes! 

That said, I had no idea that there was a dramatic performance cost. Also,
the issues you raise about analysis seem important.

Since people are free to still use it in their own projects, it doesn't seem
to controversial. Can/should we add a lint rule? Can/should it be scoped to
Pharo core?
