Well, I was working in standard Smalltalk, so the names of the classes were
still there in the global namespace. However I was attempting to program in a
style that didn't make use of them.

As I said, I quite liked the way the code worked out. But I wouldn't use it
for every project -- two downsides being the unidiomatic code, and the tendency
of the 'system' object to acquire (some of) the disadvantages of a God-class.
