That's strange, because Symbol >> #value: was added to Squeak in 2006 during
the developement of 3.9.

Why?

 - removed #value: and #value:value: from Symbol (this is now in 3.9
and not really cool)
 - changed all (or most) references to these methods

I'm not questioning that you added it to Magritte before 3.9 picked it up. I just didn't understand how could the re-occuring questions disappear, because Symbol >> #value: was still in the system. But I guess people
didn't understand the code which used this feature.
