We merged 24 pull requests and closed 19 issues this week.
The focus right now is cleaning up unused code. The image got already
smaller!
Immutable Litarals / Literal Sharing
==================================
We compile literals as immutable objects already in Pharo9,
this is now improved: Literal arrays are now recursively read-only,
the compiler preference was removed and we have some first code (not
used yet) to share all the equal literals between methods
(and literal arrays) so save a little bit of memory.
